Lloyd Austin WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released the following statement on President-elect Biden's historic decision to nominate retired Gen. Lloyd Austin as Secretary of Defense: As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I have great respect for General Austin's leadership of CENTCOM and his deep experience with military operations. I look forward to hearing about his plans to strengthen our national security.
