Maggie Haberman Says ‘Trump Could Not Find a Single Person’ Who Backed DeSantis for Secretary of Defense

EXCERPT:

HABERMAN: “I think it’s still true that he was tired and is tired of negative stories. And what changed was a couple of things. One was… Trump could not find a single person in his orbit, or even really outside of it, who liked this idea of making Ron DeSantis – the governor of Florida – the Defense secretary choice. And it was not, you know, ‘We’re going to drop Hegseth, and we’re going to look for a bunch of other people.’ It was Hegseth or DeSantis at that point. And so, Trump was persuaded also after a call from Pete Hegseth to let Hegseth go out and see if he could fight his way past some of these stories.”
