Graham on Hegseth Nomination Hearing

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement on the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Pete Hegseth's nomination to be President Trump's Secretary of Defense.

"Pete did a very good job answering difficult questions at today's hearing while laying out a vision to reform the Pentagon and to be the warfighters' biggest champion.

"Democratic attacks were overly personal and fell flat. It was clear Pete was more prepared for the hearing than my Democratic colleagues.

"With today's performance, I believe Pete Hegseth's path to confirmation has been assured."
