Ernst faced an onslaught of criticism from within her own party, including threats of a potential primary challenge in 2026, when she appeared cool to Trump's nomination of Pete Hegseth

The article from the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier discusses Iowa Senator Joni Ernst's support for Donald Trump's nominee for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth. Ernst, who has known Hegseth for years, praised his military background, his understanding of national security, and his commitment to veterans. Hegseth, a former Army National Guard officer and a Fox News contributor, was described by Ernst as someone who would prioritize the needs of the military and ensure that the Department of Defense focuses on its core mission rather than what she referred to as "woke ideology." The article also mentions that Hegseth's nomination comes at a time when the Senate is preparing for confirmation hearings, with Ernst expressing confidence in his ability to navigate the process successfully.
