Trump's firm endorsement and growing Republican Senate support underpin trader consensus favoring Pete Hegseth remaining Secretary of Defense past April 30, with "No" odds at 93%. Despite early controversies over alleged misconduct and personal conduct raised by critics, Hegseth has conducted private meetings with key senators, securing commitments from figures like Lindsey Graham and gaining ground among defense hawks. No GOP defections have emerged amid the party's 53-seat majority, and preliminary vetting has not uncovered disqualifying issues. His confirmation hearing, expected soon, represents the next catalyst, but current pricing reflects optimism that political momentum will carry him through without withdrawal or ouster.
