I'm not sure DeSantis would be a home run. He's got one of the same problems Hegseth has - a very thin resume on defense and national security issues. Like Hegseth, he's got some military experience serving as a member of the armed forces - but he has very little familiarity with the military as an institution and an organization. The GOP Senators who care about the military, and who care that the DoD is going to be well run, may be concerned about that. It's hard job to step into if you're a relative newbie about the armed services and all the myriad issues that it faces.

DeSantis would be fine. If Senators are concerned about things being 'well-run', one needs only look at the improvements made in Florida's disaster preparedness under RD.

I think Ernst would be a better choice substantively

Why? She's never run as large an organization as Ron DeS has.
