Daily Wire White House Correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan asked Hegseth whether he felt confident in Trump’s backing, following reports that the president had privately discussed whether Hegseth should remain in his position.
“Sounds like you feel confident in the president’s support — is that accurate?” Olohan asked.
Hegseth said he’d let the president “speak for himself” before reaffirming his support for Trump.
“We’ve never had a better commander-in-chief — full stop. I get to watch him every single day. He lives and breathes America First, and it’s the honor of a lifetime to be his Secretary of War,” he said. “Any day he’ll have me, I’ll be right here at this podium.”
Trump praised Hegseth during the War secretary’s press conference Tuesday morning.
“Pete Hegseth gets an ‘A’ PLUS, PLUS, PLUS for his defense against a disgruntled, angry, defeated, former Congressman, Thomas Massie, a TOTAL LOSER!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Hegseth began his press conference by ripping outgoing Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) after Massie filed eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth on Monday. The renewed push to impeach Hegseth, which comes after the Democrats’ midterm sweep, has sparked speculation that Hegseth could be the next top Trump official to leave the administration.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) warned that it appears “the votes are there” to impeach Hegseth.
“Either Hegseth is going to step down, either he will resign voluntarily, or Trump will fire him, or, if that does not happen, I think it is extremely likely, if not certain, that the House will impeach him because, on the face of it, the votes are there,” Cruz said on Monday.
CBS News reported earlier this month that Trump had been asking advisers whether Hegseth should remain War secretary, with some reportedly discussing potential replacements. Trump subsequently defended Hegseth publicly, saying he was doing a “very good job” before declaring, “I have every intention to keep him.”
Hegseth also offered an emphatic endorsement of Miller, who officially became Trump’s chief of staff on Monday after the resignation of Susie Wiles. Hegseth praised Miller’s role in advancing the administration’s immigration agenda and national security priorities.
“As far as Stephen Miller is concerned, he is an incredible American patriot and a great friend of this department. We wouldn’t have an A Triple C, America’s Counter Cartel Coalition, without Stephen Miller. We wouldn’t have a secure southwest border for 18 months without what Stephen Miller has enabled,” Hegseth said.
“We’ve got no better friend at the Department of War than Stephen Miller,” the secretary added. “He’ll be a fantastic chief of staff who understands the president’s agenda. He will stand, he will fight, and we are proud to stand right there with him.”

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
