Hegseth pledges to abstain from alcohol while serving as defense secretary


Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary, has vowed not to drink any alcohol if confirmed by the Senate. This commitment comes after allegations of frequent intoxication during his time as president of Concerned Veterans for America surfaced in a whistleblower report. Hegseth referenced military regulations regarding alcohol consumption during deployment, stating that he will apply the same standard to his role as defense secretary. He denied the allegations of alcohol abuse and mismanagement in his previous positions. Despite facing an uphill battle for Senate confirmation and accusations of sexual assault, which he denies, Hegseth plans to fight through the nomination process with the support of Trump. His mother has come out in support of him, calling him a changed person amid past controversies. However, there are reports that Trump is considering replacing Hegseth with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Hegseth spent time at the Capitol seeking support from Republican senators while facing scrutiny over his past behavior. Ultimately, Hegseth remains determined to push forward in his pursuit of becoming the defense secretary for the Trump administration.
