Even as handicappers adjudged Pete Hegseth ’s confirmation as secretary of Defense to be all but certain, not one but two Republican senators indicated a hard pass on the poorly qualified bad boy from Fox News.

President Trump on Friday said he wasn’t expecting Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine) to vote against his controversial nominee for secretary of Defense: Army veteran and former Fox News host Pete Hegseth.

Pete Hegseth is denying the allegations against him as the Senate plans to vote on his confirmation for Defense Secretary. Former senior GOP congressional advisor Rina Shah and Democratic strategist Richard Goodstein join Ana Cabrera to share their outlook for tonight.

President Trump told reporters he was "very surprised" when Sen. Collins, R-Maine, and Sen. Murkowski, R-Alaska, voted against advancing the nomination of Pete Hegseth to serve as the secretary of defense when departing the White House.
