Hegseth after GOP midterm losses: 'We have only just begun to fight'

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had a defiant message for Democrats seeking to impose additional oversight on the Pentagon following this week’s midterm elections, as speculation about his future has gone into overdrive.

Hegseth shared a five-minute video on social media on Thursday, filmed outside the Pentagon, in which he declared, “We have only just begun to fight. We are more determined than ever, more resolute than ever to finish what we have started, we will stand, we will fight, and we will defend this republic from all enemies foreign and domestic.”
