Senate panel advances Defense secretary nominee Hegseth on party-line vote

The Senate Armed Services Committee on Monday voted to advance Pete Hegseth, President Trump’s nominee to serve as secretary of Defense, to the floor. The 14-13 vote was strictly along party lines.

Senators on the Armed Services panel also voted to waive the seven-day rule that usually requires at least a week to elapse between a nominee’s confirmation hearing and a vote to discharge from committee. Senate Republicans then held a separate vote to advance Hegseth’s nomination.

Hegseth is one of Trump’s most high-profile nominees, and his confirmation hearing last week featured some fireworks as Democrats went on the attack.

Sen. Gary Peters (Mich.), a Democrat on the committee, called the Monday vote “disappointing.”

14 who know lil Pete has no business anywhere near the pentagon. 14 who were overwhelmingly impressed with Pete’s promise not to drink on the job. And finding Jesus was a nice touch Pete. 14 who gave a convicted felon, rapist, serial lying conman what he wanted. And for what? A sucker and loser inquires.
