Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) floated Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) to take over the Department of War should the congressman’s articles of impeachment succeed in ousting War Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Massie introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth on Monday, citing several issues with the war secretary’s leadership, particularly how he has dealt with foreign conflicts. Following his time on the House floor, Massie held a press conference and was asked about possible successors to Hegseth.
