Team – Let me be clear: Pete Hegseth wasn't qualified for the job before his nomination, and he certainly isn't now.

Last month, we watched him and other Trump allies put our country and the intelligence community at risk by sharing classified information in an unapproved group chat.

Information is classified for a reason, and this time, we averted a tragedy. But who knows about next time with Trump, Vance, and Hegseth sharing secrets with reporters or much worse, our enemies.

Their carelessness and inability to take responsibility only prove that keeping our country, allies, and troops safe is not their priority.

We can't have Pete Hegseth or the Trump administration overseeing our military, intelligence, and other sensitive information. It's why Senate Democrats and I voted against his nomination, and why we're fighting to hold them accountable for every wrongdoing.

So please, can I count on you to join my team and hold the Trump administration accountable by adding your name and demanding that Pete Hegseth resign to avoid another national security disaster?

Thank you,

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester
