Republican senators are expected to face support from more than 100 Navy SEALs backing Pete Hegseth, who has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for the position of Defense Secretary. Despite facing criticism from liberal media and some Republican senators wavering on his confirmation, Hegseth has garnered strong backing from military personnel due to his combat experience and advocacy for veterans.
His nomination has been controversial, with accusations of a drinking problem reported by anonymous sources, reminiscent of the media scrutiny faced by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
As the SEALs prepare to voice their support, GOP senators have been urged to consider the opinions of military professionals over media narratives.

Fox News host Will Cain stated, “Over 100 Navy SEALs have organized and committed to march on Washington, D.C.”
Cain added, “Over 100 Navy SEALs are prepared to throw their support openly behind Pete Hegseth.”
Cain concluded, “I would suggest if your name is Joni Ernst, Lindsey Graham, John Thune, Mitch McConnell, Kevin Cramer — if you are a senator from North Dakota, Iowa, South Carolina, you might want to look out your door.”
