Former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is angling to become defense secretary in President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet, The Post has learned.
The Pentagon post is at the top of Gabbard’s wish list, four sources told The Post Tuesday, but the soon-to-be 47th president has yet to make his final decision.
One GOP insider said Gabbard was “going to privately petition Trump early this week” about becoming defense secretary, though the source added that the 43-year-old could also be interested in becoming CIA director.
Despite being a former Democrat, Gabbard’s potential nomination earned an outpouring of enthusiasm from some of the most conservative members of Trump’s first administration due to her views on foreign policy, namely avoiding new wars and ending current ones.
