Report: US Secretary of War Hesseth is considering running for president in 2028

US Secretary of War, Pete HSeth told his friends and associates that he is considering running for president in 2028, according to a report published tonight (between Friday and Saturday) on the NBC network, according to sources familiar with the conversations.

According to the report, Hesseth and his wife Jennifer brought up the idea of ​​running for the White House during closed conversations in recent months. It is claimed that the two believe that Geseth possesses similar qualities to those that have made President Donald Trump especially popular among the base of the MAGA movement. It is also written that they believe that the voter base appreciates Heseth’s aggressive line, his readiness for confrontations and his conservative positions on social and cultural issues.

Speculation in Washington about Hesseth’s political ambitions has increased recently, in part following a visit to Iowa to help the campaign of Republican Congressman Zach Nunn. Iowa has historically played a key role as the opening state for the Republican primaries, and a visit there is considered a suspicious move by political strategists.

The Pentagon strongly rejected the report. A spokesman for the ministry clarified to the network: “Minister Hesseth is not running for president, and his top priority is leading the Ministry of Defense. Any other speculation is stupid.”

Heseth himself was also quick to deny the things and claimed in his account on the X network that it was “100% false”. He went on to write: “We told NBC this, but they just lie using anonymous ‘sources’.” According to him, the only issue he is focused on is his role in the US War Department.
