Approximately 200 former Navy SEALS have gathered in Washington, D.C. to show their support for the confirmation of Hegseth, as reported by News. Among the attendees are notable figures such as Reps. Morgan Luttrell of Texas, Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin, and Eli Crane of Arizona. The group convened at the Vietnam Memorial before embarking on a march towards the Capitol building.
Furthermore, a significant number of SEALS and veterans were present at the Senate hearing where Hegseth was undergoing questioning by the Armed Services Committee. The room was filled with dozens of supporters, demonstrating a strong show of solidarity for Hegseth's confirmation.
In a display of bipartisan support, several House members made their way to the Senate hearing to stand behind Hegseth. This included Reps. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida and Joe Wilson of South Carolina, who crossed the Capitol to lend their backing to the confirmation proceedings.
