In an op-ed for the Washington Examiner, Senator Scott emphasized his backing for Hegseth's nomination. He stated that "the United States is constantly facing threats from adversaries around the world, emboldened by four years of Joe Biden’s incompetence." Scott aims to ensure the swift confirmation of Trump's nominees to provide necessary tools for national security.

Senator Scott also met with Hegseth, reinforcing his endorsement and commitment to a quick confirmation process.
