Some conservatives on X have suggested CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings as Trump’s next White House Press Secretary. Jennings, in turn, proposed Hulk Hogan as a potential replacement for Marco Rubio in the Senate, assuming Rubio becomes Secretary of State.
“If Marco Rubio does, in fact, become secretary of state, we will need a new senator from the state of Florida,” Jennings began. “We need someone with Rubio‘s national security credentials. Now, there is one Floridian who can do it. He stood up to the Russians and the Iranians in the 1980s when he defeated the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff, two of America‘s most lethal folks.”
“He is a real American, he fights for the rights of every man, and he knows the courage is the thing that keeps us free. Ladies and gentlemen, I announce — Ron DeSantis, get on it — Hulk Hogan for U.S. Senate,” Jennings continued, prompting laughter around the table. “And whatcha gonna do, Chuck Schumer, when Hulkamania runs wild on you, brother?”
To emphasize his support, Jennings opened his blazer to reveal a yellow “Hulkamania” t-shirt. A longtime fan, Jennings met Hulk Hogan at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last July.

“No matter what happens, I’ll always have this photo with my buddy @davidaxelrod & my childhood hero @HulkHogan, who absolutely brought the house down tonight in Milwaukee,” he captioned a photo from the event.
