The past 24 hours have been tumultuous for President-elect Donald Trump as he faces setbacks in forming his administration. With his pick for the Drug Enforcement Administration withdrawing from consideration and his choice for Defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, facing challenges in gaining support from Senate Republicans, Trump is now considering turning to his former rival, Gov. Ron DeSantis, to lead the Pentagon.

The shake-ups in Trump’s transition team come on the heels of former Rep. Matt Gaetz withdrawing from consideration as Trump’s choice for attorney general. These developments are raising questions about Trump’s influence within his party and the willingness of Republicans to comply with his demands.

Chad Chronister, Trump’s nominee for DEA administrator, withdrew from consideration citing the gravity of the responsibility. This decision came after criticism from conservatives over his actions during the Covid-19 pandemic. Chronister’s withdrawal follows Gaetz’s brief candidacy, which was marred by controversy surrounding a sealed ethics report. Trump replaced Gaetz with former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Hegseth, facing allegations of sexual assault and alcohol abuse, is struggling to secure Senate confirmation. Some Republican senators have expressed concerns about his suitability for the role. In response, Trump is considering replacing Hegseth with DeSantis, a move that could be politically advantageous but may also strain Trump’s relationship with the Florida governor.

The rivalry between Trump and DeSantis during the 2024 presidential campaign was marked by public spats and insults. However, since DeSantis endorsed Trump and withdrew from the race, their relationship has improved. Elevating a former critic like DeSantis to a high-ranking position in his administration would not be unprecedented for Trump, who has shown a willingness to forgive past disagreements.

The consideration of DeSantis as a potential nominee for the Pentagon signals that loyalty alone may not be enough to secure a Cabinet position in Trump’s administration. Chronister, a county sheriff with limited experience outside local law enforcement, faced criticism for his actions during the pandemic and his political affiliations.

Trump’s spokesperson defended his nominees, stating that he has selected highly qualified individuals to serve the American people. The ongoing challenges in forming his administration highlight the complexities of navigating Senate confirmations and balancing political considerations.
