Hegseth: The Change Agent We Need

Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Defense,had his Senate confirmation hearing today.

Hegseth’s nomination has been embroiled in scandal, including accusations of sexual assault and right-wing extremism, all of which he has denied. The former Fox News host is expected to face tough questions from Senate Democrats about his past, including allegations of alcohol abuse and opposition to women in combat roles.
