An influential conservative group, The Heritage Foundation, has thrown its support behind Elbridge Colby's nomination for a top position at the Defense Department. The Foundation described Colby as the most influential defense policy thinker in over twenty years, emphasizing the need to realign the Department of Defense's activities with American interests.
Colby's nomination as undersecretary of defense for policy has faced some opposition from Republicans, particularly due to his realist worldview. His stance on potentially living with a nuclear Iran rather than countering its nuclear capabilities has raised concerns among some senators, including Sen. Tom Cotton.
