Tillis presses for Hegseth ouster amid defense leadership clash
TL;DR Summary
Sen. Thom Tillis renewed his call for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to be fired after Army Secretary Dan Driscoll’s resignation, accusing Hegseth of inept management and prioritizing culture-war issues over modernizing the Army. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between Trump allies in the White House and defense leadership; the White House and Pentagon did not comment on Tillis’s accusation, and Tillis—who is not seeking reelection—has long clashed with Hegseth since he took the Pentagon helm in 2024.
