Pete Hegseth is a conservative Fox News host who has railed against “woke” ideology in the military.

He has no senior military or government leadership experience.

The move speaks to President-elect's penchant for turning to sympathetic and telegenic TV hosts and pundits for plum jobs.

Hegseth ’s book War on Warriors , which torches the embrace of “woke” policies in the military, was able to secure the nomination.

Trump touted the book in his announcement of his nomination as a reason for his nomination.

A spokesperson for Fox News said, “We are extremely proud of his work at FOX News Media and wish him the best of luck in Washington ”.
