Iowa United States Senator Joni Ernst said that “the vetting will continue” after being asked if she would support President Trump’s Secretary of Defense Nominee Pete Hegseth. Ernst sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee. It is important to note that Ernst voted to confirm Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, who then unleashed DEI policies into the military. Ernst’s vote to confirm Austin is interesting, considering that she received donations from Raytheon’s PAC. Before his Secretary of Defense nomination, Lloyd Austin sat on the Raytheon Board. President Trump won Iowa by 56%-42% over Kamala Harris. Judging by Trump’s November Iowa victory, it is clear that a majority of Ernst’s voters want her to vote “Yes” on Pete Hegseth. Hopefully, Senator Ernst will follow the will of her voters.
