Vice President-elect JD Vance recently expressed his support for Pete Hegseth, the nominee for secretary of defense, following a message from President-elect Donald Trump. Vance emphasized that Hegseth is a strong advocate for the troops and highlighted the need for leadership in the Pentagon that prioritizes winning wars.
Hegseth has been actively engaging with key senators on Capitol Hill to secure their backing for his confirmation. Despite facing allegations of drinking and sexual misconduct, Hegseth has refuted these claims and remains resolute in his pursuit of the position.
