The vote may indicate whether fresh allegations about his personal conduct that surfaced this week are enough to stop his confirmation.

The procedural vote on Pete Hegseth's confirmation for Secretary of Defense is set to be held today. It comes on the heels of an affidavit being released containing a previously unreported allegation over his behavior towards his ex-wife.

Pete Hegseth seems destined to become America's 29th secretary of defense. Despite the hyperbole and exaggerations of Hegseth's fitness to serve, he is arguably the least qualified person to hold that office.

In “The War on Warriors,” published last year, the nominee to head the Pentagon lashes out at “social justice saboteurs” and other fellow Americans.

As senators weigh the Pentagon nominee's fate, the former Fox News host is dealing with yet another personal controversy.

Trump's pick to lead the Pentagon endured fierce Democratic grilling over everything from his inexperience, alleged drinking and his past opposition to women in combat to emerge largely unscathed among Republicans at his confirmation hearing.

A cloud of controversy has hung over Hegseth, but he now appears to be on track to be confirmed as Trump's defense secretary.

Will Hegseth get through? Pete Hegseth, current Fox News anchor and possible future defense secretary in the Trump administration, will face senators in his confirmation hearing later today.

Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Pentagon chief, referred to North Korea as a “nuclear power” in a written statement for Tuesday’s confirmation hearing – shattering a longstanding taboo by granting such a designation to Kim Jong-un’s regime and drawing considerable attention in Seoul.

It's hard to tell just where retired General Mark Milley's portrait once hung in the Pentagon's prestigious E-ring hallway, alongside all of the former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The US president-elect's nominees pushed through a gauntlet of confirmation hearings on Wednesday with the help of allied Senate Republicans carrying them toward the finish line, despite Democratic objections.
