Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) said Tuesday evening that she has decided to vote to confirm Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense following his confirmation hearing earlier in the day.
Ernst made the remarks during an interview with Simon Conway on NEWSRADIO 1040 WHO.
“He was adequately able to answer all of my questions, he pointed out the woke issues at the Pentagon, and I think we are [at] a point where now we can start moving forward,” Ernst said. “People know where he stands on these issues, so I felt it was a good hearing.”
When asked if she would now vote to confirm Hegseth, Ernst responded: “Yes, I will be supporting President Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth.”
