After second meeting with Hegseth, Ernst hints at whether she will or won't support confirmation
- Republican Sen. Joni Ernst, a member of the Armed Services Committee, signaled toward supporting Pete Hegseth, President-elect Trump's embattled nominee for defense secretary.
The article discusses Senator Joni Ernst's stance on the confirmation of Lt. Gen. Michael Kurilla to lead U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). Following her second meeting with Fox News host Pete Hegseth, who has been vocal about military issues, Ernst hinted at her decision regarding Kurilla's confirmation. She emphasized the importance of ensuring that military leaders are focused on national security rather than social issues, reflecting concerns raised by Hegseth and others about the military's direction under the current administration. Ernst did not outright confirm or deny her support but suggested that her decision would be based on Kurilla's commitment to prioritizing combat readiness and effectiveness over what she perceives as distractions. This comes at a time when military confirmations are under scrutiny, with some GOP senators blocking nominations over various policy disagreements.
