  • The president-elect took to Truth Social to praise Hegseth as a "fantastic, high energy" nominee "who leads with charisma and skill"

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's continued support for Pete Hegseth, a Fox News personality and Army veteran, despite mounting controversies.

Trump's endorsement comes at a time when Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is also being considered for the Defense Secretary position, highlighting a potential shift in Trump's political alliances and strategies. The piece also touches on Hegseth's controversial statements and actions, including his criticism of the military's focus on diversity and inclusion, which has drawn both support and criticism. This situation underscores the ongoing debate within Republican circles about leadership in national defense and the influence of media personalities in political appointments.
