Tillis Calls His Hegseth Confirmation Vote His Biggest Career Regret

In a new book, Thom Tillis says his deciding vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as defense secretary in January 2025 is the biggest regret of his career, PBS NewsHour reports. Tillis also says he should have stopped Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from becoming health and human services secretary in the early days of Donald Trump's second term. That is two confirmations he now wishes had gone differently, written down rather than left to inference.
