When asked this week whether he thinks Ernst should be primaried if she votes against Hegseth’s confirmation, Mullin said, “No,” but expressed optimism that she would ultimately support Hegseth.
“I think Joni is going through the process because it’s very important to her. [When she] makes a decision, she’ll make the right decision, and I’m positive about that,” Mullin said.
Ernst and Graham seemingly changed their tune on Hegseth following conservatives’ pressure campaign. Mullin has pledged support for Hegseth’s confirmation and defended the Army veteran against the anonymous allegations levied against him.
Mullin’s defense of Ernst and Congress’s backdoor dealmakingfalls in line with his history of supporting bills favored by the D.C. establishment.
Within the past congressional session alone, the Oklahoma Republican has voted for legislation shippingmore U.S. taxpayer money to foreign powers like Ukraine,bloated federal spending bills, and a measureto suspend the debt ceiling until 2025. He also opposedan amendment introduced last year by Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., that sought to create a special inspector general to oversee U.S. funds given to Ukraine.
Heritage Action, which grades members of Congress based on how conservative their voting record is, gave Mullin a 2023-2024 session score of 42/100, or 42 percent. Mullin’s Senate seat is up for election in 2026.

Reading what Mullin recommends goes against every premise of the Consitution, that they work for the people! Bannon and others have warned about this for many years. They hate us and will never work for what we want.
