On July 29, NBC reported that Hegseth has "privately discussed the idea of running for political office." While the Pentagon’s chief spokesman Sean Parnell denied any idea of Hegseth vying for the governorship in Tennessee, the Secretary of Defense could run for office should he choose to leave his current post.

"The Daily Show" pleaded with the people of Tennessee Wednesday night to "take one for the team" and elect Pete Hegseth governor.

The post Hegseth weighing run for Tennessee governor’s office: report appeared first on Salon.com. Kathy Hochul's focus on "assault weapons" is puzzling, since the perpetrator easily could have killed the same number of people with a gun that did not fall into that politically defined category.
