Tide turns in favor of Trump DOD pick Pete Hegseth after Matt Gaetz failure​

The pick by President-elect Trump to lead the Department of Defense, Pete Hegseth, seems to be on track to get enough GOP Senate support to be confirmed, despite facing a handful of allegations ranging from sexual assault, excessive drinking and fund mismanagement, all of which he has denied.


One Republican senator told Fox News Digital that they weren't aware of any GOP senators who are a "hard no" on confirming Hegseth.

Hegseth "certainly" doesn't seem to be in a position where he may feel pressured to withdraw, they added.

This is much different than the landscape for former Rep. Matt Gaetz, Trump's previous selection to be attorney general, who faced several definitive "no" votes from senators.

Contending with the significant lack of support espoused most candidly behind closed doors, Gaetz withdrew from the process just days after being selected.

Republicans will have a 53-47 majority in the next Senate, and there is only room for Trump nominees to lose a few GOP votes, assuming no Democrats choose to back them....
======================================

The Dems are giving Hegseth the full Kavanaugh. Pete is a warrior and he is going to win this battle.

Gatez was a stalking horse. He was never going to head the DOJ.

I suspect you're correct. It may've been s set-up all along, with Gaetz in on it.

I had the same thought almost a month past, and said so.

Trump is a master of the art of the deal.

He may not want to. He's been known to feint and bluff the left before.

Maybe these initial nominees are stalking horses.

Why would anyone suspect that?

Many of Trump's first-round picks share some common characteristics.

Obviously, Democrats will try to oppose whoever he proposes, and he could be playing the long game to draw them out so he can use their own arguments against them if he has alternative nominees he'll produce after Congress is in session again...

Several who've been victimized by Democrats and unelected bureaucrats drunk with power have now been nominated to be put...

What the left is trying to do to Pete is a disgrace.

You know they got caught, right?

The USMA (West Point) said Pete Hegseth hadn’t even applied to the Academy when a ProPublica "journalist" asked about Hegseth.

Hegseth responded with evidence of his acceptance, but the media shill didn’t publish the fact that West Point "made a mistake".
