Dec 4, 2024, 02:18 PM
President Donald Trump is reportedly considering replacing Pete Hegseth, his nominee for Defense Secretary, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, according to the Wall Street Journal. Hegseth, who has been told by Trump to 'keep fighting' for his confirmation, has expressed his intention to continue pursuing the post despite the potential change. The consideration of DeSantis comes as Trump's support for Hegseth appears to be faltering. Trump and DeSantis discussed the possibility face-to-face at an event for fallen law enforcement in Florida, indicating that Trump is 'seriously considering' the swap. This development marks a significant shift in Trump's cabinet nominations.
