MAGA Meltdown as Trump Considers DeSantis to Replace Hegseth

MAGA Meltdown as Trump Considers DeSantis to Replace Hegseth (The Daily Beast)

Some in MAGA Nation are upset that Donald Trump is considering Ron DeSantis to replace Pete Hegseth as his pick for defense secretary—both because the Florida governor once ran a primary campaign against the president-elect and also because he has so far been unwilling to make Trump’s daughter-in-law a senator.

Trump’s mulling of DeSantis comes as Hegseth, the former Fox News host who Trump controversially chose to head the Department of Defense, has faced accusations of sexual assault, infidelity, and alcohol abuse, which, paired with concerns over his level of qualification for the role, undoubtedly spells trouble for his Senate confirmation.
