Senate Republicans are reportedly deeply unhappy with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. The Hill has detailed that “growing tensions” between him and senior Republican lawmakers may soon boil over, with some already expressing deep frustrations about perceived failures in national defense.
Those failures range from anger over the costly war with Iran that shows no sign of concluding anytime soon, questions over the departure of multiple senior military figures (just this week, Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll resigned), and Hegseth’s own basic competence for the job.
