Pete Hegseth remains Secretary of Defense (now titled Secretary of War) amid ongoing Pentagon leadership changes, including the removal or early retirement of over two dozen senior officers and interventions in promotion lists for Navy, Army, and Air Force roles. These actions, which have drawn congressional scrutiny over patterns affecting female and minority officers, have created internal friction but have not prompted White House pressure for his departure. President Trump has publicly endorsed Hegseth’s approach, describing him positively in cabinet settings and aligning with his emphasis on reshaping military priorities. With no formal resignation signals, Senate holds, or administration leaks indicating removal by year-end, trader consensus prices the “No” outcome at 77.5% as a reflection of sustained presidential backing and the absence of decisive political catalysts for change before December 31.
