Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is not considering being named Tennessee’s next senator, even as President Donald Trump weighs the future of his top war official in the administration.
Speculation that Hegseth could be tapped for a Senate seat in Tennessee, where he moved several years ago, has intensified in recent months. The looming Senate vacancy coincides with Trump’s frustration over the lack of resolution to the conflict with Iran and hopes that Hegseth will face impeachment proceedings once the newly elected Democratic majority takes control of the House.
