Democratic Sens. Mark Kelly and John Fetterman have shown openness to the possibility of Gov. Ron DeSantis being considered as President-Elect Trump's new choice for secretary of defense. This comes as Pete Hegseth faces obstacles in his path to confirmation for the position.
Senator Kelly, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, acknowledged that DeSantis, based on his background, could be a viable candidate for the role. Kelly highlighted DeSantis' experience as a governor of a major state, his service in Congress, and his military background as factors that make him a strong contender for Secretary of Defense.
