Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's ongoing congressional testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee and House Armed Services Committee on April 29-30, defending a proposed $1.5 trillion defense budget amid the Iran war, underscores his entrenched position following narrow Senate confirmation in January 2025. Recent Pentagon leadership changes—including the April 22 dismissal of Navy Secretary John Phelan and early April ousters of Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George and three generals—demonstrate Hegseth's authority to reshape the department rather than signals of his own vulnerability. While Democrats have called for his resignation over these moves and war conduct, lacking Republican support or White House indications of removal, traders price an 83.5% chance he remains through June 30.
