US Senate LIVE: Donald Trump's Defense Pick Pete Hegseth Advances To Final Senate Vote | GOP Leaders | CNBC TV18 The U.S. Senate convenes and proceeds to an executive session to resume the consideration of the nomination of Peter Hegseth, of Tennessee, to be Secretary of Defense. The Senate advanced the nomination of Pete Hegseth as President Donald Trump’s defense secretary Thursday on a largely party-line vote, despite grave objections from Democrats and stirring unease among Republicans over his behavior and qualifications to lead the U.S. military. Two Republicans, Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, broke ranks with Trump and his allies who have mounted an extensive public campaign to push Hegseth toward confirmation. The former combat veteran and Fox News host faces allegations of excessive drinking and aggressive actions toward women, which he has denied. The vote was 51-49, with a final confirmation vote expected Friday. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer implored his colleagues to think seriously, “Is this the best man we have to lead the greatest military in the world? Murkowksi, in a lengthy statement, said that his behaviors “starkly contrast” with what is expected of the military. “I remain concerned about the message that confirming Mr. Hegseth sends to women currently serving and those aspiring to join,” Murkowski wrote on social media. #petehegseth #housesenate #trump #donaldtrump #uspolitics #usatoday #cnbctv18 #livenow
