So far, three people have been confirmed to Trump’s Cabinet: former Sen. Marco Rubio as the secretary of state, John Ratcliffe as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency and Pete Hegseth as secretary of Defense.

Maine, breaks with party to vote against Pete Hegseth, Trump's nominee for Defense Secretary. Can he still get confirmed?

Republican Sen. Susan Collins voted Thursday against advancing President Donald Trump's choice for defense secretary, who has faced allegations of heavy drinking, financial mismanagement and abusive behavior toward women.

Democratic Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono's partisan streak at confirmation hearings continued Thursday as the lone 'no' vote in a committee hearing to recommend VA nominee Doug Collins for confirmation.

Senators voted 51-49 to advance Hegseth's defense secretary bid, which has been mired in several controversies. Two Republicans oppose him.

Pete Hegseth has vowed to bring his “warrior” ethos to the Pentagon. Democrats had assailed him as unfit for the job, and his confirmation came down to Vice President JD Vance serving as tiebreaker.

The Senate confirmed Pete Hegseth late Friday, swatting back questions about his qualifications to lead the Pentagon.

President Donald Trump has begun his second administration with a series of controversial moves and decisions.

Despite allegations he’s faced since being announced as Trump’s pick for defense secretary, Hegseth managed to convince enough GOP senators he’s the man for the job.

Some of Trump's more controversial picks for Cabinet positions are set to face the Senate for confirmation hearings this week.
