Not all Republicans are on board with the former Democratic congresswoman as she prepares for her confirmation hearing, Eric Garcia reports

Senators Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins and Mitch McConnell voted against confirming Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary. To Capitol insiders, their decisions weren’t surprising.

Four of his appointees have officially been confirmed by the Senate, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director John Ratcliffe of the CIA, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth (whose final vote was particularly fraught).

Pete Hegseth shared a conservative outlook with GOP senators. Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. do not.

Republicans are sending signals that they might not back Trump’s nominee for director of national intelligence.

They’re mad because McConnell had the audacity to speak the absolute truth — that Pete Hegseth, who allegedly drinks too much, paid a woman $50,000 to settle a sexual assault allegation, and drove two nonprofit groups into the ground, wasn’t qualified to be U.S. defense secretary. And he voted against confirming Hegseth.

McConnell’s vote against Hegseth was no profile in courage, but let’s hope he has the backbone to also oppose Robert Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.

Michigan Democrat Sen. Elissa Slotkin appeared Sunday on ABC News' "This Week," where she explained why she voted against confirming Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense.

Okla., predicted that Pete Hegseth will be confirmed as defense secretary on Friday evening, and that Democratic opposition would target Tulsi Gabbard next.

While Democrats are busy staunchly opposing Pete Hegseth’s nomination to lead the Pentagon ... which will conduct former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation hearing to be the the next director of national intelligence. Leadership views two ...

Still, the ground seems shakiest under Tulsi Gabbard, the recent Democrat and Bashar al-Assad fangirl, who is improbably gunning to be Director of National Intelligence. She has no intelligence experience, and a troubling history of regurgitating Kremlin-backed conspiracy theories.

Vice President JD Vance spoke with Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation Sunday about Pete Hegseth's confirmation, Tulsi Gabbard's upcoming confirmation, executive orders, FEMA, and more.
