💨 Abstract

President-elect Trump's pick for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, faced criticism during his confirmation hearing for inexperience, past opposition to women in combat, and alleged drunkenness. Despite Democratic concerns, Hegseth avoided major gaffes and received support from several Republicans. He declined to rule out firing the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and walked back his stance on women in combat.
