Summary

Donald Trump is considering Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as a replacement for embattled Defense Secretary pick Pete Hegseth.

Hegseth faces wavering GOP Senate support due to past allegations of misconduct, including a 2017 sexual assault claim, which he denies.

DeSantis, a Navy veteran and former Trump rival in the 2024 presidential race, has reportedly spoken directly with Trump about the role.

Other contenders include Senators Joni Ernst and Bill Hagerty, along with Rep. Mike Waltz.
