Trump Considers Defense Secretary Hegseth's Future After Midterm Losses; No Final Decision
Following significant Republican losses in the US midterm elections, President Donald Trump has reportedly considered removing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with some advisers attributing blame to him and other military leaders involved in the Iran conflict. However, Trump has not made a final decision and publicly stated he supports Hegseth's performance. Discussions also mention potential replacement by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Democrats have pursued impeachment efforts against Hegseth, which may gain momentum given their expected congressional majorities.
