Billionaire investor Frank McCourt recently discussed his bid for TikTok. Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary seemed strong after his Senate hearing, despite Democrats bringing up concerns about sexual assault allegations, financial mismanagement, and public intoxication. Hegseth faced questions from senators on various issues, including his past comments on women in combat, his plans to reinstate military personnel discharged over Covid vaccines, and his vows to bring back a “warrior culture” to the Department of Defense. Some senators praised Hegseth as an “unconventional” candidate, while others questioned his character and competence for the role. Despite interruptions from protesters during his opening statement, Hegseth’s nomination appeared to be moving forward with support from Republican senators. Overall, the hearing highlighted the divide between party lines, with Republicans backing Hegseth and Democrats raising concerns about his qualifications and past behavior. The confirmation process for Hegseth continued with both support and opposition, setting the stage for further discussions and debates in the future.
