💨 Abstract

Pete Hegseth, Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, faced Democratic scrutiny over his inexperience, alleged drunkenness, and past comments on women in combat. However, he received critical backing from Republican Senator Joni Ernst, securing him support in the party. Hegseth has expressed opposition to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and questioned the qualifications of the top U.S. general due to his race.
