The High-Stakes Fight for Confirmations

The fight for confirmations isn’t over until the final vote is cast. Just ask Mark Lucas from the Article 3 Project, who’s been on the front lines of securing President Trump’s key appointees.

In this episode of The State of Freedom, we break down the intense battle to confirm Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense. From last-minute vote swings to unexpected opposition, Mark shares how grassroots advocacy made the difference. We also dive into RFK Jr.’s confirmation journey, the push to confirm Kash Patel, and why citizen engagement is more critical than ever.

Mark puts it simply: “You’re good in the confirmation fight until you’re not.” One moment, the votes are there. The next, a senator wavers, and the battle is back on. That’s why sustained pressure—calls, emails, and showing up—can tip the scales.

With a government plagued by waste and judicial overreach, this fight is bigger than any single nominee. It’s about ensuring the right people are in place to bring real change. Are you staying engaged? Let us know how you’re keeping up the pressure.
