In a week marked by high-stakes political maneuvering, Alabama Senator Katie Boyd Britt (R-AL) emerged as a vocal supporter of Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense. Britt shared her endorsement after a meeting with Hegseth, praising his commitment to Trump’s vision of “peace through strength” and the nominee’s readiness to refocus the Pentagon’s priorities.
“He is committed to putting our warfighters in the best position and returning the Pentagon’s focus to our force’s lethality,” Britt said on X. “We also had a great discussion about the importance of Alabama to our national defense.”
