President-Elect Donald Trump Reaffirms Support for Pete Hegseth, Posts Article Blasting Attacks; Pete Hegseth Enjoys Strong Support from Republican Voters

President-Elect Donald Trump Reaffirms Support for Pete Hegseth, Posts Article Blasting Attacks:

President-elect Donald Trump reaffirmed support for Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth on Thursday, posting from his account on Truth Social an article slamming the barrage of Democrat attacks on him.

The post from Trump, in addition to his verbal assurances to Hegseth himself, show that he still fully backs Hegseth – contrary to reports claiming he is considering other options.

The op-ed, by the New York Post‘s Miranda Devine, is entitled: “Dems’ attacks on the intelligent, articulate and patriotic Pete Hegseth show why they lost – a salute to Trump’s defense secretary pick.”

Devine touted his qualifications, writing:

Intelligent, articulate, patriotic, a graduate of Princeton and Harvard, a combat veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, with two Bronze Stars, Hegseth, 44, is an inspired choice to lead the Pentagon and rid it of the woke poison that has sent recruitment levels down the toilet.

…

He’s a lot better qualified to run the Defense Department than Kamala Harris ever was to be commander-in-chief.

She called Hegseth:

The perfect patriot to restore the morale of a dispirited military that has seen humiliation heaped on top of indignity in the Biden-Harris era — from the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan to the collapse of the Gaza pier, not to mention the exhibitionistic sexual fetishism that seems to have infected elements of the armed services.

Nolte: Pete Hegseth Enjoys Strong Support from Republican Voters:

Although he is facing a coordinated smear campaign that’s been ginned up by Democrats and the regime media, a strong majority of Republican likely voters still support Pete Hegseth’s nomination as Secretary of Defense.

According to this Rasmussen Reports poll of 879 likely voters taken on November 25-26, Hegseth’s favorable ratings are above water — and not only with Republicans.

When asked if they view the former Fox News host and military veteran favorably, 36 percent of those polled said their impression is “very” or “somewhat” favorable. Only 27 percent said “somewhat” or “very” unfavorable. Thirty-six percent had no answer.

Among Republicans, Hegseth enjoys a 52 percent favorable to a 16 percent unfavorable rating.

When asked if the U.S. Senate should confirm Hegseth, 40 percent of all those polled said yes, while 39 percent said no. Twenty-one percent were unsure.

A caution light for wavering Senate Republicans is that 68 percent of Republican voters want Hegseth confirmed, while only 15 percent disagree.

Since this poll was taken, the smear campaign against Hegseth has only increased with the media publishing hoax after hoax. What has also increased is Trump’s desire to see his nominee confirmed. As Trump’s resolve hardens, so too will rank-and-file GOP voters, which could mean this becomes a campaign issue in the midterms. Republicans who waver might find themselves facing well-funded primary opponents in 2026. —>READ MORE HERE
