Prediction markets continue to give Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth around a 30% chance of remaining in his job through December, though it is important to note that there is only an 8% chance of him exiting prior to October 1.  Dan Driscoll said his last full day as U.S. Army secretary was Wednesday, but his social media post offered no explanation for why he is stepping down after 18 months as the service’s civilian leader. Driscoll is a friend of Vice President JD Vance and has good relationships with both Republicans and Democrats in Congress. But tensions with Hegseth have been widely reported, and some of Driscoll’s allies in the Army were ousted this year by President Donald Trump’s Pentagon chief.
