Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., predicted that Pete Hegseth will be confirmed as defense secretary on Friday evening, and that Democratic opposition would target Tulsi Gabbard next.
Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., expressed confidence that Pete Hegseth would be confirmed as defense secretary, despite opposition from GOP moderates. But Fox has learned there are 'still a few issues' with members regarding his confirmation. Fox has also learned that there should be full attendance in the Senate tonight. But there’s a possibility that the vote to confirm Hegseth could be held open, allowing a senator to arrive late and vote, Fox has been told.
People's lives depend on it — civilians and, of course, the men and women in the armed services — and Pete Hegseth has shown himself not only incapable of running a large organization, he often shows himself incapable of showing up or showing up in a way where he could get anything done. He is so out of the mainstream and so unqualified for DOD that I am hopeful we will get our Republican colleagues to join us.
