Hegseth, Amid Struggle, Claims Trump Urged Him to Continue Fighting


President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, faced controversy but refused to drop out after speaking with Trump, who urged him to “keep going, keep fighting.” Hegseth, a former Fox News host and military veteran, faced scrutiny over his treatment of women and drinking habits. Despite these allegations, Hegseth defended himself and denied mistreating women or sexually assaulting anyone. With Senate Republicans expressing discomfort with his nomination, Hegseth faced a tough confirmation process, with reports suggesting Trump may consider other candidates. Despite this, Hegseth remained determined, focusing on Trump’s directive to bring a war-fighting ethos to the Pentagon. He met with senators and House members to build support for his nomination. However, reports emerged that Trump may replace him amid the opposition. If Hegseth steps down, potential replacements include other candidates such as Sen. Joni Ernst, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Rep. Mike Waltz. Trump has already seen some high-profile Cabinet picks withdraw due to opposition from GOP senators. Hegseth’s nomination remains uncertain as he faces challenges in the confirmation process.
