Influencers Demand #OnlyPete for Defense: Is DeSantis the 600lb Alligator in the Room?

In this episode of Firing Lane, we dive into the chaos surrounding President-elect Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense. We start by dissecting the implosion of Pete Hegseth’s nomination, marred by allegations of misconduct and the bizarre loyalty-driven frenzy of the #OnlyPete movement. Then, we shift focus to the rumors of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as a potential replacement. With his military background and proven leadership, DeSantis seems like a compelling choice—on paper. But would stepping into this role serve his long-term political future or tarnish it within the chaos of a Trump administration? Join us as we explore the tension between ambition and prudence, the allure of influence versus the value of principled governance, and why DeSantis’s best move might be staying right where he is.
