Poll Shows Republican Support for Hegseth Resignation Growing
A recent poll reveals that a majority of registered voters (54%), including more Republican voters (38%) than those wanting him to stay (33%), believe that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should resign. This follows the revelation that Hegseth, along with other Trump administration officials, shared sensitive military information with a journalist accidentally added to a group chat. The ensuing controversy, involving the discussion of a Yemen airstrike and disparaging remarks about Europe, has fueled calls for resignations. Despite President Trump dismissing the incident as a “glitch,” the poll highlights significant public disapproval of Hegseth’s handling of classified information.
