Last week, writing about Pete Hegseth’s hearing to be confirmed as secretary of defense, New York Times columnist David Brooks condemned the Senate committee’s Democrats for obsessing over the nominee’s “moral qualifications”—the allegations of alcohol abuse and sexual harassment—rather than his views on national security.

The vote may indicate whether fresh allegations about his personal conduct that surfaced this week are enough to stop his confirmation.

Though new reports on the former Fox and Friends cohost’s behavior have emerged, he’s likely to be confirmed as Defense Secretary this week.
