“I think he's doing a fantastic job, but it's very early to talk about that,” Trump said Monday when asked if he would support Hegseth in such an event. “We have to get through the midterms first, and I think he's a very good guy.”
“Right now, all [Hegseth] loves is, and all he cares about is, the military and taking care of the military,” Trump concluded, referencing the Iran war, which surpassed the six-month mark last week.
Hegeseth later called the reporting “100% false” and insisted his “only job” is to “make the Department of War great again.”
He’s also facing upheaval in his department. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll resigned from his position Monday, following reported disagreements with Hegseth. His departure follows that of other key figures, such as former Army chief of staff Gen. Randy George, who left his position in April, Gen. Christopher Donahue, the former commander for the U.S. Army in Europe and Africa, who left his in June after just 18 months in the job.
Trump has shown reluctance in naming his successor, but he has expressed interest in a potential ticket boasting his Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Trump proceeded to pit Vance and Rubio against one another, asking the crowd to show their support for who they liked.
“That does not mean you have my endorsement under any circumstance,” he emphasized, adding that he thinks it “sounds like a presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate."
Recent polling suggest that the Vice President and Secretary of State are the frontrunners to lead the Republican ticket. A collection of polls published by the New York Times, looking at the share of support for each candidate in the 15 most recent polls, shows Vance in the lead, with Rubio coming in second.
Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina Governor who launched a failed 2024 presidential bid, and Florida’s Gov. Ron DeSantis were considered as outsiders in the collection of polls.
Trump’s third term ambitions
When asked about the possibility of a third term, Trump told TIME in April last year: “I'd rather not discuss that now, but as you know, there are some loopholes that have been discussed that are well known.”
Trump has since admitted he “probably” won’t pursue a third term, despite his ambitions.
