U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is considering dropping his nominee to lead the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, and nominating Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in his place, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday,

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, former President Donald Trump is contemplating replacing Pete Hegseth, a Fox News personality and Army veteran, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to lead the Department of Defense if Trump wins the 2024 presidential election. This consideration comes amidst Trump's ongoing campaign for the Republican nomination, where he has been vocal about his plans to overhaul the military leadership.

However, DeSantis has not publicly commented on this possibility, and his current focus remains on his gubernatorial duties and his own presidential campaign.
