His long history of service and unequal qualifications make him the perfect leader for our military and national defense. As General Austin and I discussed on the phone recently, we must work together to protect our people, our country, and our national security interests around the globe. I believe General Austin is the right person to do exactly that at this critical moment in time. That is why I urge the Senate to hold hearings and confirm General Austin as soon as possible so that he can get to work on day one." # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-28T00:42:23Z |
