Hegseth, a former Fox News host, faces scrutiny over allegations of sexual misconduct and skepticism from both parties regarding his suitability to lead the Department of Defense.
Critics point to Hegseth's tattoos and past controversies, questioning his capability to manage the Pentagon, crucially as tensions rise over U.S. military interests.
Republicans, particularly Joni Ernst, have expressed doubts about Hegseth's qualifications due to his past opposition to women in combat and views on military aid to Ukraine.
Hegseth must navigate a political landscape where Democrats will question him, but it could backfire, potentially strengthening Republican unity behind his nomination.
