Dec 4, 2024, 03:20 AM
President-elect Donald Trump is considering replacing his nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, according to reports from The Wall Street Journal. The discussions arise amid concerns over Hegseth's ability to be confirmed due to mounting allegations about his personal life. Six Republican senators currently oppose Hegseth's nomination, and Trump allies believe the next 48 hours will be crucial for his prospects. DeSantis, a former Navy officer, is being considered as a potential candidate to lead the Pentagon.
