Who is Pete Hegseth? President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to serve as Secretary of Defense
SUMMARY: Donald Trump has nominated Army National Guard Captain and Fox News host Pete Hegseth to lead the Department of Defense, citing his toughness, intelligence, and commitment to America First. Hegseth, a staunch critic of the “woke military,” advocates for removing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and critical race theory (CRT) from military training. Despite his combat experience and two Bronze Stars, Hegseth lacks senior military and government experience. Critics, especially Democrats, question his qualifications and specific knowledge of defense policy, raising concerns about his potential confirmation process, even in a Republican-controlled Senate.
President-elect Donald Trump has picked a well-known television host and Army veteran to serve in his Cabinet.
Trump has selected Fox News host Pete Hegseth to serve as Secretary of Defense. Hegseth hosted “Fox & Friends Weekend.”
Hegseth is an Army combat veteran who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. He was decorated with two Bronze Stars, as well as a Combat Infantryman’s Badge for his service.
