Pentagon leaders are uneasy after Republicans' midterm losses gave Democrats majorities in both chambers of Congress. Democrats are already focused on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, though some people close to the administration think Gen. Dan Caine or Adm. Brad Cooper could be dismissed instead.

Trump has said he won't fire anyone over the results and intends to keep Hegseth despite complaints he has received about him. He also acknowledged that getting a replacement confirmed would be hard once Democrats take over the Senate.
