Maggie Haberman: Announcement of U.S. Navy Secretary’s Ouster from the President’s Cabinet Caught the Public Off Guard

HABERMAN: “Definitely. He was caught off guard by it. Definitely. Most of the public was caught off guard by it. It was a tweet from a Pete Hegseth communications official that made it public. But this apparently was a long time coming or a relatively long time coming. He‘s not he was not especially well-liked. Clearly, by Pete Hegseth, and that‘s now fairly well documented. I think, after what happened today. But he also didn‘t have a ton of support in the White House. And that does become a problem. There are obviously going to be people who are going to point out, as have done with me, I‘m sure have done with you, that we‘re in the middle of a naval blockade or the U.S. is in this fight with Iran. I do think we are beginning a phase of seeing a number of cabinet level appointments changing. And this is just the latest.”
