Trump Responds to Pete Hegseth’s Confirmation and Disregards 3 GOPs Who Voted Against Him: “Winning is What Matters!”

As he departed from Los Angeles on Friday night, President Trump responded to the news of Pete Hegseth’s successful confirmation as Defense Secretary.

Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collins (R-ME) on Thursday voted against advancing Hegseth’s nomination to a final floor vote. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) then joined his fellow RINOs voting against Hegseth Friday, teeing up a tiebreaker vote by Vice President JD Vance. Vance was the tiebreaker, voting in favor of Hegseth’s nomination. After a roundtable conference on the wildfires in Los Angeles, California, President Trump spoke to the press and responded to the news. Trump: I’m honored to have Pete. I think Pete’s going to be a great Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, and we’re honored to have him. I think Pete is going to be a great Secretary of Defense.

Reporter: Are you disappointed that McConnell voted no? Trump: I didn’t even know that, no. I don’t know that. I just heard that we won. Winning is what matters, right? So thank you very much everybody.

TRUMP: “This is an honor to be with you. Unfortunately it’s a very sad period, but what makes you feel good is I met so many of the homeowners and every one of them said… they want to rebuild… they love the area. They love the people. It’s like a family.”
