Trump to possibly replace Hegseth, sources say

Is Pete Hegseth leaving the administration? NBC News reports that President Donald Trump is considering replacing his defense secretary, but its brief report stops short of announcing a decision.

The Short pairs archival footage and photographs of Trump and Hegseth with a reporter's account of what sources have told NBC colleagues. Alongside the discussions about a possible replacement, those sources say some of Hegseth's future travel has been put on hold. The reporter explicitly notes that the reason is unclear: the travel pause is not presented as confirmation of a departure.

The report drew more than a quarter-million views in its opening 13 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts. Its comment section was also much busier than a typical first day.

It sits within NBC's wider coverage of the election's aftermath. Steve Kornacki is examining unresolved contests in Mississippi and Alaska, while New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani tells Kristen Welker that Democrats' new congressional majorities carry a mandate to deliver on the cost of living.
