Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich praised President-elect Trump's cabinet selections, including Tulsi Gabbard, Marco Rubio, and Pete Hegseth, as reform-oriented and capable of overhauling the Pentagon. Gingrich emphasized the need for a new generation of military leaders and suggested that Trump's administration, alongside Sen. John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson, could bring significant improvements to U.S. cities. Hegseth's nomination has sparked debate over his qualifications, but Gingrich supports his potential to restructure the military.
