The Senate Armed Services Committee approved Pete Hegseth’s nomination for Defense secretary on Monday along party lines, teeing up a partisan clash this week over the controversial pick.
The panel voted 14-13 to advance Hegseth to the full Senate, according to two people familiar with the process, just hours after President Donald Trump was sworn into office. 

All Armed Services Democrats opposed Hegseth.

Senate Republicans are likely to push through the confirmation of the former Fox News host and Army veteran, although the vote may not occur for several days.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune needs Democrats to agree to speed up consideration of Hegseth’s nomination. Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) said he expects Democrats to block quick action on Hegseth, pushing a confirmation vote to Wednesday or Thursday.

Jadi ceritanya Hegseth dengan segala kontroversinya di Democratic Senate, tidak bisa ditahan lajunya untuk dikukuhkan menjadi U.S Defense Secretary.

Congratulation Pete !
