Trump Cabinet 2025 | Pete Hegseth Selected As Defense Secretary | US Defense Secretary | N18G

The Senate confirmed Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary in a late-night vote, despite concerns about his qualifications and behavior. There were allegations of heavy drinking and aggressive actions toward women. The Republican-led Senate was determined to confirm him. Hegseth, a former Fox News host and combat veteran, plans to bring a "warrior culture" to the Pentagon. Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote. Trump's influence is evident in Hegseth's confirmation, which is seen as a victory for him amid scrutiny of Hegseth's views on women in combat.
