  • President-elect Donald J. Trump attended the annual Army-Navy football game in Maryland on Saturday with Pete Hegseth, his embattled choice for defense secretary, sending a message of support ahead of Senate confirmation hearings that are likely to take place next month.

The article from The New York Times discusses former President Donald J. Trump's appearance at the Army-Navy football game, where he was accompanied by Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host, and Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran who has become a controversial figure due to his involvement in the death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway. Trump's presence at the game, a tradition for sitting presidents, was marked by his interactions with Hegseth and Penny, highlighting his continued influence within conservative circles. Hegseth, who has been a vocal supporter of Trump, and Penny, who has received both support and criticism for his actions, represent the intersection of politics, media, and public opinion. The event underscores Trump's ongoing engagement with military culture and his ability to draw attention to individuals who align with his political narrative, even as he faces legal challenges and remains a polarizing figure in American politics.
