Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth has a lengthy history of criticizing Republican senators.

The Army veteran and former Fox News host has often denounced Senate Republicans in recent years , particularly outgoing leader Mitch McConnell .

Trump 's nominee must win over 50 or more senators to be confirmed to lead the Pentagon under Trump .

Collins and Murkowski signaled that they're willing to give Hegseth the benefit of the doubt on his past remarks.

Murkowski told Semafor that she has thick enough skin to separate his criticisms from their votes.

Collins: Iâm used to criticism by people, by the internet. That would not be disqualifying.â Burgess: Politicians have long memories.
