Pete Hegseth, under scrutiny for past allegations of sexual assault and heavy drinking, argues he deserves redemption and support from skeptical Republican senators.
Joni Ernst, critical to Hegseth's confirmation, has stated he has yet to earn her support, casting doubt on his chances amid lingering concerns about his conduct.
Despite Trump's support, insiders believe Hegseth's confirmation is in jeopardy, suggesting a significant possibility he may be replaced before a Senate vote occurs.
Hegseth's meeting with senators aimed at swaying key votes, particularly from female combat veteran Joni Ernst, whose backing is considered essential for his path forward.
