Trump's consideration of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as Secretary of Defense signals a potential shift, reflecting his need for a conservative figure amid scrutiny of Pete Hegseth's nomination.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump allies believe Pete Hegseth's nomination is under serious threat due to detailed allegations against him, making the next 48 hours critical.
