Original: Hegseth directs military to defend US midterm elections from foreign interference
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has directed the US military to help defend the upcoming midterm elections against foreign interference. The order tasks the Pentagon with supporting efforts to detect and counter meddling by outside actors in the electoral process. The move is drawing attention to the military's role in election security and how far its mandate will extend ahead of the vote.
Why now: The directive was just announced and raises questions about the military's role in election security ahead of the midterms.
