Trump Nominates Fox Host and Combat Veteran Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary
Nov 13, 2024, 12:19 AM
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Pete Hegseth, co-host of Fox News' 'Fox & Friends Weekend' and an Army combat veteran, as his Secretary of Defense. Announcing the nomination, Trump stated, "I am honored to announce that I have nominated Pete Hegseth to serve in my Cabinet as The Secretary of Defense." Hegseth, a Major in the Minnesota Army National Guard, served tours in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, and Afghanistan, earning two Bronze Stars for his service. A native of Minnesota, he is known for his advocacy on behalf of veterans and his support for the 'Defend the Guard Act.' Hegseth is a strong opponent of 'wokeness' in the military and is a loyal supporter of Trump's 'America First' agenda. The nomination has garnered attention due to Hegseth's transition from television host to leading the Department of Defense.
