Hegseth on Capitol Hill to secure Pentagon spot

Pete Hegseth, President-elect Trump's nominee for secretary of defense, is ramping up his pitch to lead the Pentagon with back-to-back meetings on Capitol Hill. Since his nomination, Hegseth has been meeting privately with senators in Washington, D.C., in an effort to earn their support ahead of his confirmation hearing next year. Hegseth was back on the Hill for a second day on Wednesday, meeting first with incoming Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., who is set to be the Armed Services Committee chair, ahead of a crucial meeting with incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D.
