Trump considers removing defense secretary after Republican midterm losses

Donald Trump is reportedly asking advisers whether he should remove Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth from his position. Republicans lost both chambers of Congress in last week's midterm elections, and the Iran war was a key reason many voters turned against them. Hegseth was one of the strongest supporters of that military campaign. When reporters asked Trump about replacing Hegseth, he said his defence secretary was doing "a very good job." However, sources say Trump has privately questioned whether Hegseth should stay. Some people close to the administration believe Trump may blame Hegseth for the election losses. Democrats have also said they plan to pursue impeachment proceedings against him. Pentagon officials say Hegseth intends to remain in the role for the rest of Trump's term.
