Trump Eyes DeSantis for Defense Secretary Amid Hegseth Struggles

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as a potential replacement for Pete Hegseth as his defense secretary pick. Hegseth's nomination has faced scrutiny due to a sexual assault allegation and questions about his qualifications. DeSantis, who ran against Trump in the Republican primary, is seen as a candidate who could advance Trump's agenda without controversy. Hegseth, a former Fox News host and military veteran, has also made controversial statements about military leadership and diversity policies, raising doubts about his Senate confirmation prospects.
