President-elect Donald Trump’s support for Pete Hegseth as defense secretary shows signs of wavering due to recent allegations against him, raising questions about Hegseth's confirmation prospects.
With Trump suggesting Hegseth should have been more candid about his challenges, the potential nomination appears increasingly tenuous while other candidates, including Ron DeSantis, are under consideration.
Senator Lindsey Graham indicated hesitation, stating the accusations against Hegseth are 'very disturbing' but recognized that he has the opportunity to confront them during upcoming evaluations.
Trump's discussions around other candidates reflect a growing uncertainty as both he and his allies weigh options, including potentially more favorable candidates in light of Hegseth's controversies.
