Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is considering stepping down from his Pentagon duties to pursue political office in his adopted home state, according to a new report.

Weeks before condemning the Pentagon’s internal Signalgate review as a “sham” on Tuesday, the defense secretary reportedly began discussing a potential 2026 gubernatorial run in Tennessee, sources told NBC News.

According to Defense Department rules that prevent civilian employees from seeking political office, Hegseth would need to resign his post to launch a campaign.

If Hegseth were to follow through, it would mark the biggest shake-up in Pentagon leadership since the Trump administration ousted Joint Chiefs of Staff General Charles Brown in February.

1. Leave your Pentagon post and then leave the country.

You can get as drunk as you want.

2. A failure of leadership

lil pete can’t handle the heat. SECDEF is a real by god job with real by god responsibilities requiring expertise, tact, leadership and management skills. Lil Pete has none. Just a strong desire for the next drink. Have a senior NCO of any branch have a drinking problem. Action efforts?

Hegseth is a loser perfectly fit to be Governor of Tennessee.
