據NBC新聞：美國國防部長赫格塞思正在考慮參加2028年總統競選。

NBC News, citing two people familiar with the matter, reported Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has privately discussed a possible 2028 presidential run with close associates. Hegseth and his wife believe his hard-line style and conservative social positions could win support from the MAGA base; he recently campaigned in Iowa for a Republican congressman, a visit that has fuelled speculation. Potential primary rivals cited include Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. A Pentagon spokesman denied the report, saying "Secretary Hegseth will not run for president" and that his primary duty remains leading the Defense Department. The report noted the ongoing Iran conflict could be a political liability for Hegseth — 18 U.S. service members have died — and U.S. average gasoline prices have risen from under $3/gal to just above $4/gal.
