Pete Hegseth Branded Trump's Likely Midterm Fall Guy

Original: hegseth

Commentary from The New Republic argues that Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth is set to be made the scapegoat if Republicans perform badly in the US midterm elections. The piece frames Hegseth, already a controversial figure over his handling of the Defence Department, as the official Trump would most readily blame to shield himself from losses.

Why now: Speculation about who Trump would blame for potential midterm losses is drawing attention ahead of the vote.
