DeSantis Considered for Defense Secretary Position

News summary

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as a potential replacement for Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, amid concerns over Hegseth's past conduct. If DeSantis is appointed, it would lead to Lt. Gov. Jeanette Núñez becoming Florida's first female governor, significantly impacting the 2026 gubernatorial race. Political analysts suggest that Núñez would have an advantage as the incumbent but would face competition from notable figures like former Rep. Matt Gaetz and Rep. Byron Donalds. The transition could also spark a series of political shifts, including the need for new appointments for Senator Marco Rubio’s and CFO Jimmy Patronis' positions. DeSantis, a once-close ally of Trump, has had a complicated relationship with him, raising questions about their future collaboration. This potential cabinet change could reshape the Republican landscape as Trump prepares for a possible return to the White House.
