WASHINGTON – Today, Senator Jim Justice released a statement following his vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense:
“Pete Hegseth is a warrior and is the prescription for a cumbersome and overly bureaucratic Department of Defense. He cares deeply about the well-being of our men and women in uniform because he was one of them, and will put their interests and the interests of our country first. President Trump is entitled to pick who he thinks is best for the job – I’m proud to stand with President Trump and support Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense,” said Senator Jim Justice.
