Trump Appoints Dan Driscoll as New Army Secretary
President-elect Trump has nominated Dan Driscoll, a Yale Law School classmate of JD Vance, for the position of Army secretary. If confirmed, Driscoll will oversee the U.S. Army's budget and workforce, expanding Vance's influence at the Pentagon. Driscoll, who served in the Army and later worked in investment banking, ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 2020. The nomination comes as the Army undergoes significant changes, including equipment upgrades. Meanwhile, Trump's defense secretary pick, Pete Hegseth, faces a challenging Senate confirmation process.
