Senate Advances Pete Hegseth For DOD, Alaska And Maine Republicans Break Ranks

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. od-alaska-and-maine-republicans-break-ranks.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Thursday, January 23rd 2025 at 16:00 GMT by MSN}

The Senate narrowly advanced the nomination of Pete Hegseth as President Donald Trump's defense secretary on Thursday in a 51-49 vote, moving him one step closer to confirmation despite fierce objections from Senate Democrats and mounting unease among some Republicans.

The U.S. Senate has advanced the nomination of Pete Hegseth to a senior Department of Defense position, with a vote of 53-45, despite opposition from some Republicans. Hegseth, a former Army officer and Fox News contributor, was supported by Alaska's Republican senators, Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, and Maine's Susan Collins, who broke ranks with their party. The vote saw all Democrats and these three Republicans in favor, while most Republicans opposed the nomination. Hegseth's confirmation comes amidst a backdrop of political contention, with critics citing his controversial media presence and past statements, while supporters highlight his military service and potential to bring a fresh perspective to the Department of Defense.
