President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly mulling replacing Pete Hegseth as his nominee to run the Department of Defense with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, as pressure mounts regarding allegations in the former Fox News host’s personal life.
According to The Wall Street Journal, “Trump has floated DeSantis’s name in casual conversations with guests at Mar-a-Lago.” Other possible replacements are Elbridge Colby, a former Pentagon official and ally of Vice President-elect JD Vance, and Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA).
DeSantis, who ran against Trump in the 2024 Republican primary, shares Trump’s and Hegseth’s opinions on eliminating “woke” policies in the military and Pentagon.
