Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat, questioned Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for defense secretary, over his view that women should not serve in combat roles, which he has attempted to walk back in recent weeks. "Women in our military, as I have said publicly, have and continue to make amazing contributions across all aspects of our battlefield," Hegseth said. "I appreciate your eleventh hour conversion," Shaheen said after she pressed him further. #news #politics #congress #newhampshire
