Are Republicans looking for a scapegoat after the election loss? He is in the crosshairs

Some advisors suggest blame for the election losses may also fall on military leaders involved in the Iran conflict. White House spokesperson Anna Kelly praised Hegseth's military operations and efforts to shift Pentagon priorities.
