Contributing sentiments towards policy:

31% : "Putting all of that aside, Trump is sending signals to these senators - again, 'I'm not really committed on this until he starts really working the phones on this himself.'
29% : "It would still be sort of mind-boggling if Ron DeSantis does get chosen and Trump does pull the rug out from under Hegseth because you will just hear a replay of all of these things that DeSantis said about Trump in their primary, including about Trump's first indictment in Manhattan and the trial related to a hush money payment to a porn star," she said.
21% : On Wednesday's installment of The Source on CNN, Kaitlan Collins aired a clip of Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), a staunch Trump ally, saying he does not know who Trump wants to lead the Pentagon.
8% : On Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal reported on Trump's mulling of DeSantis, who challenged Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination.
6% : The report that Trump was considering DeSantis surprised many, as the governor repeatedly attacked Trump on the campaign trail.
