Cari Champion on Hegseth Pick: Acumen Isn’t ‘Top of Mind,’ Trump ‘More So Cares About What People Look and Sound Like’

EXCERPT:

CHAMPION: "I think, Carl, you kind of touched on this. When I think about just the day and we look at the appointments or those who allegedly might be up for appointments, I think that he is making good on all of his promises. One thing about Donald Trump that I find very interesting — and, Scott, you may disagree, which is fine — I don‘t necessarily know if acumen is top of mind when picking these people. What I mean by that is, I believe, and I have a random story but very true, I believe he more so cares about what people look like and sound like. Enter our man who is a Fox News host, who is now the secretary of defense. I don‘t understand that.”
