32% : Doubts about whether Hegseth could have the necessary support to be confirmed grew more apparent following reports that Trump has begun floating backup nominees such as Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
16% : In an interview with Megyn Kelly on SiriusXM radio, Hegseth dismissed the allegations against him as lies created by enemies of Trump, comparing it to accusations against Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
