Joni Ernst silent on whether Pete Hegseth would have her vote for US defense secretary

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. ould-have-her-vote-for-us-defense-secretary.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Thursday, December 5th 2024 at 12:01 GMT by USA Today}

U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, who is a military veteran, said she had a "thorough" conversation with defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth.

The article from USA Today discusses the potential nomination of Pete Hegseth, a Fox News personality and former Army National Guard officer, as Defense Secretary by former President Donald Trump if he wins the 2024 election. Senator Joni Ernst, a Republican from Iowa and a key figure in military and veterans' affairs, has expressed skepticism about Hegseth's qualifications for the role, emphasizing the need for a Defense Secretary with substantial military leadership experience. Ernst, who has a background in the military herself, highlighted the complexities of the position, which requires managing vast military operations, strategic planning, and international relations. Despite Hegseth's conservative credentials and his vocal support for Trump, Ernst's comments suggest a preference for someone with a more traditional military background, potentially influencing Trump's decision on this critical appointment.
