Despite the allegations of sexual assault and alcohol, Donald Trump’s most controversial cabinet candidates have been confirmed as the leader of the Pentagon with a weak advantage.
Late on Friday, the Senate supported PETE Hegseth with a 51-50 voting results. He will become the US Secretary of Defense, Vice President JD Vance to break the draw, and Pete Hegseth ) Barely elected.
Republican senators Mickey McConal, Lisa Mercorkuski and Susan Collins voted with the Democratic Senator to oppose the confirmation of Hergerus.
In his former sister -in -law, Danielle Hegseth, he issued an oath statement, accusing him of being so abused to his ex -wife, so that his ex -wife was hiding in the closet because he was afraid of being bullied, and the Democratic did his best to prevent him from being confirmed. Geus is unable to be difficult. She also claimed that he had drunk for many years.
The former Fox news host is different from the typical defense minister. His predecessor, Lawe Austin, was a retired army general who was responsible for supervising the Central Command of the United States. The command was responsible for the Middle East military operations.
As an indifferent opponent of “awakening”, Hergus vowed to bring the “soldier” culture back to the US army when the Trump administration abolished the federal government’s diversified measures.
He also said that one of his primary tasks is to ensure the safety of the US -Mexico border. Pentagon said on Wednesday that it will increase 1,500 active soldiers to the southern border of the United States in accordance with the president’s order, an increase of 60%.
McConal said he voted to oppose Hergerus because the nomination lacked the “strategic vision” how to deal with the largest national security challenge in the United States.
McConal said that Hergus “did not provide substantial opinions on how to defend Taiwan or the Philippines” and did not “explain in detail a strategic vision of dealing with China.” Minister of Defense, who is about to take office, failed to prove that he could effectively manage the Pentagon.
On Thursday, Mulcoski said that she could not vote for him by “conscience”, and Collins said that she “did not believe his position on women who played fighting characters had changed.”
Before the vote, Trump told reporters on Friday that he was “surprised by Collins and Murkusky” and added that “Pitter is a very, very good person.”
He also expects McConal to insist on opposition: “Of course, I guess Mickey always vote for ‘vote.”
When Trump chose to serve this position at the Army National Guard, he shocked Washington and the Defense Department. Since then, he has been troubled by the charges of sexual assault, alcoholism, femininity, gender discrimination and racism.
According to Senator Elizabeth Warren, Hergus said in a written answer in writing that he paid $ 50,000 to a woman who had sex at a hotel in California in 2017.
Hergus refuted the allegations of sexual assault, his personality, and the highest position preparation of the Pentagon at the Senate confirming the hearing last week, calling it “defamation campaign”. He also tried to modify the previous statement about female soldiers, saying that they “will have the opportunity to play the role of ground combat, because the standard is still high.”
Hergus is famous for condemning multiple, fair and inclusive measures in broadcasting. Hegles said at the hearing that DEI’s military policy was “dividing the army” and forced “commanders such as thin ice.”
When the other two controversial cabinet nodes, Robert F. Gandi, and Turcian Gabad were tortured on January 29 and January 30, the Senate’s confirmation may be more intense. Both Ganyu Di and Gabut are former Democrats, and they are appointed Minister of Health and Director of National Intelligence.
