Women in Pentagon concerned about career opportunities under Hegseth: Slotkin

Sen.-elect Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) said Sunday that she’s concerned about career opportunities for women under Trump Department of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth.

“I was at the Pentagon on Thursday, and there is absolute, like, hallway — constant chatter and conversation and concern from senior women officers,” Slotkin said on ABC’s This Week. “But also I’ve heard from folks who I’ve recommended to service academies, young women who are just starting out their career, saying, ‘Am I going to actually be able to accomplish what I want to accomplish here?'”
