  • Republican Sen. Joni Ernst made her most expansive comments yet on Pete Hegseth, telling a largely GOP audience at a California security conference Saturday that she needs to hear more from President-elect Donald Trump's embattled defense secretary pick on key issues before she decides whether to support him.

The article discusses Senator Joni Ernst's interest in addressing sexual assault in the military and the role of women in combat, following comments made by Fox News host Pete Hegseth. Hegseth suggested that women should not serve in combat roles, arguing that it could lead to increased sexual assault rates and disrupt unit cohesion. Senator Ernst, a combat veteran herself, disagrees with Hegseth's views, emphasizing the importance of women in combat and the need to tackle sexual assault issues within the military. She plans to engage in a conversation with Hegseth to discuss these critical topics, highlighting her commitment to improving conditions for all service members and ensuring that military policies reflect the capabilities and rights of women in the armed forces.
