Trump Considers DeSantis as a Replacement for Hegseth at the Pentagon

According to those familiar with the discussions, President Donald Trump is considering Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as a replacement for Pete Hegseth, whom he nominated to lead the Pentagon. Selecting DeSantis, who is his rival in the 2024 GOP primary, would mark a striking turnaround for Trump. According to sources close to Trump's team, who believe that the next 48 hours will be crucial for Hegseth's fate due to increasing allegations regarding his personal life, Trump's allies are increasingly convinced that Hegseth will not survive further scrutiny.
