Over the past few months, Hegseth and his wife Jennifer Hegseth have privately confided to close friends and trusted associates that Hegseth may run for president in 2028—meaning the succession race within the MAGA movement could soon include another key government figure. Hegseth recently traveled to Iowa to support U.S. Representative Zach Nunn, a state whose Republican primary is traditionally the first in the presidential election cycle, giving his visit added significance and fueling speculation about whether he harbors broader political ambitions. Some right-wing figures have indeed encouraged him to run for president. The Pentagon has categorically denied reports suggesting Hegseth’s presidential aspirations, while Hegseth himself labeled the coverage as “100% fake news.”
