Joni Ernst Appears to Support Pete Hegseth’s Nomination

Punchbowl News: “Ernst — a prominent Hegseth skeptic in the early weeks of Hegseth’s nomination — appeared set to support Hegseth. Ernst had indicated her support weeks earlier. During her questioning, she showed satisfaction with Hegseth’s current stance on women serving in combat and preventing sexual assault.”

“The upshot of Ernst’s position is that Hegseth, despite enduring tough moments during the hearing, is all but certain to advance from the Armed Services Committee next week.”
