Trump defense pick meets senators but support remains unclear

Pete Hegseth‚ ex-military and well-known tv-host moves through Capitol Hills halls trying to win over key lawmakers support. His wife stands next-to him during these back-to-back meet-ups with senators (showing family support during this important process)

The Republican senators give kind words but dont rush to back him up; their careful stance shows the complex nature of this high-level nomination. The ex-Fox personality answers lots of questions about his personal background — which became a hot-topic during discussions

The nominee shows open-mindedness towards standard procedures: hes ready for FBI check-up and wants to speak at confirmation hearing. His military background adds weight to his candidacy: however the path to becoming Pentagon chief isnt clear yet

The whole process shows typical Washington decision-making — lots of talks handshakes and careful statements but no quick answers
