Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) was enthusiastic for Pete Hegseth’s confirmation vote for secretary of defense, expressing how important it is for Hegseth to be confirmed given the “dangerous” times the United States is facing.
Hegseth underwent a rigorous hearing on Tuesday when testifying in front of the Senate, with many praising his performance amid the hearing. In previewing the next steps for Hegseth, whom Wicker said is “definitely on his way” to getting confirmed, the Mississippi senator said a hearing on the matter would be held on Monday afternoon, and that a vote would likely be held “by the end of the week.”
