Washington -The Senate, which is expected to be controlled by the Republican Party, will confirm whether President Donald Trump's nominated National Defense Minister will vote on Friday night to vote.

The voting results may be very tense. On Thursday, Hergerus's nomination cleared key procedure obstacles with a weak advantage of 51 to 49. The two Republicans -Alaska Senate in Alaska Lisa Murkowski and Myanmar Susan Collins in the state -voted with all Democrats against him.

Four Republicans need to vote to oppose Hergsen to refuse nominations. Although Trump's allies in the Senate said he would be confirmed, and no other Republicans said they would vote against him on Friday.

"If you find a person who has served for 20 years and participated in the battle, he will adopt the perspective of a warrior. You will not win the battle with the general; you will win the battle with the person who fights close close. He will let us return to "Real Battle" Hergses, one of the main defenders of Congress Mountain, Markwayne Mullin, the Republican Senator of Oklahoma, told NBC news.

Mu Lin added, "He will let the Ministry of Defense focus on the fighter again" and completely change. "This is what the American people want, and what President Trump wants."

Pay attention to real -time political reports

Trump told reporters on Friday that he was "very surprised" by Collins and Murkusky's opposition to Hergsez, and suggested that the Kentucky Republican Senator Mickey McConal might vote to oppose him, although the former Senate Republican leaders voted to support his nomination.

When asked about Collins and Merkox's opposition to Hergsen, Trump said, "This is not surprising."

Collins told reporters on Friday that she had informed John Thune, a majority party leader of the Senate that she opposed Hergusseus but did not receive the news of Trump himself. She said she insisted on her decision.

"I made the right vote," Collins said.

Hergus may be confirmed. This is a significant change for the former Fox news anchor and the army veterans. After multiple news reports are accused of alcoholism and sexual assault, his nomination seemed to be in last month. The edge of collapse. And the financial management of his leadership is not good. Hergus denied all these allegations.

NBC News reported in early December that Trump considered abandoning the candidates of the Pentagon leadership in Hergosseus and replaced it with his former competitors and Florida Governor Ron De Setis. But Trump publicly supported his defense choice and told Hergus in a difficult meeting held last month with the Senator.

At the confirmation hearing held by the Senate Military Commission on January 14, the Democrats pointed their finger at his past controversy and his public remarks that he used to oppose women's joining the army -he recovered this position at the hearing. The Military Commission voted for his nomination based on the party line with a weak advantage of 14 to 13.

Despite this, despite the continuous advancement of nominations, 44 -year -old Hergseus still faced strict review a few days before the final vote.

On Thursday, the NBC news received a reply provided by Hergles to Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, as part of the confirmation process, showing that he had accused him of sexual assault in a hotel room in California in 2017 in 2017 The woman paid $ 50,000. (The Associated Press first reported the amount of reconciliation.)

Hergus said that the encounter was voluntary. The local prosecutor who was in charge of the case refused to ask allegations and stated that "there was no accusation to get the support of reasonable suspicion."

His lawyer Timothy Parlatore said that Hergus "strongly felt that he was a victim of extortion" and "when the Metoo movement was the most intense", he "finally decided The reduction amount is reached. "

Earlier this week, news reports from the National Broadcasting Corporation said that a former sister -in -law of Hergus said in an oath testimony shared with the Senator that Hergus "showed unstable and aggressive behavior over the years "And let his ex -wife Hegseth" worry about her safety "when they got married.

The oath was submitted by Rhodon State Senator and Democratic Democratic Party leader of the Military Commission as requested to provide information. NBC News first reported the existence of this oath.

The former sister -in -law Danielle Hegseth said she "did not witness Hegles's physical abuse or sexual abuse". Samantha Hegseth said in a previous statement that there was no physical abuse during the marriage. His ex -wife's lawyer did not respond to the accusations that had not been reported before.

Parartule wrote in an email: "The NBC is very clear. The actual participant Samantha denied these false allegations, but the NBC continued to report irresponsible false allegations that were not related to third parties, as if these allegations were The same is the same. "

In the speech before the vote on Friday, the Minority leader of the Senate and the New York State Democrat, Chuck Schume, argued that Hergosseus was not eligible to lead the organization with 2.8 million people and urged Republicans Oppose Hergosseus with Democrats.

Shu Mo said: "The well -being of the army stationed around the world is closely related to today's voting. The safety of the American people, our children, family, neighbors and friends is also closely related to today's voting." Should not, cannot, and never promote people like Pitter Hergus to be impermanent as the Minister of Defense, we can and have to do better. "
