Former Democrat Congresswoman and Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard is reportedly setting her sights on the Defense Secretary position in President-elect Donald Trump’s new administration.
Sources close to Trump’s transition team have disclosed that Gabbard, who recently realigned with the Republican Party, has expressed a strong interest in leading the Pentagon under Trump’s upcoming term, the New York Post has learned.
According to one GOP insider, Gabbard is expected to privately approach Trump about her Pentagon aspirations this week, with additional interest in a potential CIA Director role.

I don't want Tulsi Gabbard making choices about what it takes to build weapon systems as flexible elements within an array of long-term strategy options. She knows nothing of manufacturing, defense research, or supply chain logistics.
Thanks, she served and she sees what the Left has done to our military (while trying to start WW3). She has a SERIOUS axe to grind. Perfect match for Trump!
So you think the position should go to someone who has never served in the military as opposed to someone who is an veteran?
NO!!! NEVER!!!! ABSOLUTELY STUPID!! NO GIRLS!!!
I am more concerned about traditional picks with ‘experience’ going/pushing for weapons systems and then going to work for the manufacturers of the systems. All too many times major systems are pushed with emphasis on specifications versus performance based acquisition.
If she is putting this story out and not Trump or his insiders—then it means she is worried she won’t get a spot.
we got a story about cash patel being in the running for cia chief and then what’s his name got the job.

No Way! She hasn’t been in the party enough to trust her with something like that. On top of that a post like that needs to go to someone with advanced military experience.
Given that the VA is basically a giant chain of medical centers that is a very good idea.
Laura Ingraham just announced the job went to Pete Hegseth
And she has a a good military record… enlisted in national guard, TWO tour in Iraq 2004-2005 😮 went through officer training…. Now a lieutenant colonel in the army reserves
Much different than Tim WalzNuts
Pete Hegseth got the position - just announced.
Nope. Pete Hegseth just announced as Defense Secretary on Laura’s show.
It was just announced that Pete Hegseth has been chosen by Trump for Defense Secretary. Good choice.
Thanks, Sarah!
Fox just reported Pete Hegseth was just appointed.
Good choice. He’s a patriot and combat vet.
The source for anonymous sources, like has been pointed out before.
“It was just announced that Pete Hegseth has been chosen by Trump for Defense Secretary. Good choice.”
Thanks, don’t know him, but I’ll take your word for it! Hopefully, Tulsi still gets a good position.
Hmm. Two divorces.
