Earlier today, we told you about Tim Kaine's strategy to stop the confirmation of Pete Hegseth. Well, Hegseth has cleared one hurdle and we know that made Kaine steaming mad.
🚨 BREAKING: Senate committee votes in FAVOR of Pete Hegseth for Secretary of defense, now sending his nomination out of committee and bypassing Democratic attempts to obstruct - The Hill
— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) January 20, 2025
Sen. Tim Kaine says Armed Services panel voted 14-13 on party lines to waive 7-day rule and report Pete Hegseth out of committee. Big win for Trump on Inauguration Day.

You know Kaine hated to make that announcement. This is a huge win for Trump.
Yippee. Love the work ethic! https://t.co/luK3bifyRU

Hegseth voted out of the Armed Services Committee tonight.

14 - Republicans to 13 - Democrats
Expected to be voted by the full Senate most likely on Thursday. https://t.co/ImtEydHLIS
The sooner that vote can happen, the better.
We’re getting secretary Hegseth tonight! https://t.co/UY4JfdFvzc

That has a lovely ring to it.

It's about time.
Great news for America, Pete Hegseth will make a fantastic Secretary of Defense, he's a true patriot
— Stop Socialist Tyranny (@endlibtyranny) January 20, 2025
He'll bring some much-needed common sense to the role and help keep our country safe from threats both within and outside our borders
Looking forward to seeing him confirmed…
It is desperately needed.
Pete Hegseth is exactly the kind of leader we need at the Pentagon, someone who actually cares about national security instead of pushing woke nonsense.
— Chaotic Genius (@realchaosgenius) January 20, 2025
No more DEI, no more weakness. Let’s get this done!
The nation will be safer with him at the helm.
You could still technically get bogged down by RINOs in the floor vote. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

Be sure to put pressure on your Senators if they are feeling flaky.
More WINNING! Pete is the man for the job. If any GOP lawmaker steps in the way, their political career needs to come to an end.

Absolutely!
