I do not believe there's any reason why the active duty military should ever be deployed to the polls. Secretary Hegseth couldn’t even agree with that.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) joins Katy Tur to share her reaction to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's testimony today where she asked whether he would deploy troops to the polls in the 2026 midterm elections if President Trump were to order him to do so.

I asked Secretary Hegseth if he would deploy the uniform military to our polls to collect voter rolls or machines. It wasn’t a hypothetical question, it was based on an executive order President Trump drafted but didn’t sign in 2020.
He refused to answer.

Throughout our hearing, Secretary Hegseth expected the American people to just pretend like they don't know that there's a problem with the war in Iran. Meanwhile, gas is $4.99 a gallon.
The American people aren’t stupid.
Because of the war in Iran, gas in Michigan is $4.99. The cost of things like fertilizer and airline tickets keeps going up. Secretary Hegseth was gung-ho about this war, and now we're at a stalemate, and the American public is feeling it in their pocketbooks.

SLOTKIN: If Trump asks you to seize voting machines during the 2026 election, will you stand up for the Constitution and say no?
HEGSETH: It's yet another gotcha hypothetical, which is your speciality
SLOTKIN: The guy you're performing for right now says he wishes he signed that EO in 2020!

Sen Slotkin: "The administration has taken military action in 10 different places in the world…The difference with this war with Iran, is that the American public is feeling it in their pocketbooks.

Sen. Slotkin presses Pete Hegseth about whether he would send the military to seize voting machines or ballots if ordered to do so by Trump: "Will you deploy the uniformed military to our polls to collect voter rolls or machines?…Dude, just answer the question."
In 2020, President Trump wrote an executive order that he didn't sign. It would have directed the Defense Secretary to seize ballots and voting machines. He has said he regretted not signing that order.
I asked Secretary Hegseth about that today and he refused to answer.

WATCH: Secretary Hegseth is testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee to answer questions about the war in Iran and issues impacting our national security.

As President Trump’s war in Iran drags on, we need clarity on the objectives, how we’re going to pay for it and how we are going to end it.
Watch our Armed Services Committee Hearing with Secretary Hegseth later today.
Last year, I asked Secretary Pete Hegseth if he would give the order to shoot at unarmed protestors.
Watch for yourself.
Chinese vehicles are a threat to our economic security and our national security. I am joining with Senator Moreno to stop them from entering the U.S. market.
The Chinese Communist Party’s playbook of heavily subsidizing their product, underselling the competition, and then having a monopoly over that sector puts Michigan’s auto industry and our millions of workers at risk.
Chinese cars are a serious threat to America’s national security and Michigan’s economic security. Chinese cars are surveillance packages on wheels. We need to act now and get this right. My bill with Senator Moreno does just that. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
How is the Department of Defense using AI to protect our nation from cyber attacks?

The President won his election talking about what he was gonna do domestically. But as we continue to see the war drag on with Iran, it’s clear that he has become a foreign policy president.

Here's how Pete Hegseth reacted last year when I asked if there is such a thing as an illegal order.

The tornadoes claimed the lives of four Michiganders and caused widespread destruction to hundreds of homes and businesses across Branch, Cass, and St. Joseph counties.
