A number of people familiar with the matter revealed that after the Republican Party suffered a fiasco in the midterm elections on Tuesday evening, Trump is seeking opinions from advisers close to him in person and by phone to determine whether Secretary of Defense Hegseth should stay in office. Some White House aides predicted that part of the responsibility for the Republican Party's loss in the midterm elections would be blamed on US Central Command Commander Admiral Brad Cooper and General Dan Kane, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; both played key roles in guiding decisions related to the Iran war. However, according to other sources, Trump has yet to make a final decision to replace Hegseth. Prior to the election, the Democratic Party had already initiated an impeachment attempt against Hegseth; now, both houses of the Democratic Party have gained significant advantages, and the possibility of impeachment action has further increased. A source revealed that the outside world is already discussing Florida's Republican Governor DeSantis as a potential successor to Hegseth. According to the proposed opinion, it is possible to complete De Santis' Senate appointment confirmation during the Lame Duck session of the National Assembly, and after his term as governor expires on January 5, he will officially take office as Secretary of Defense.
