Hegseth Says Cyber Command Will Protect US Midterm Elections
Original: Hegseth: Military Cyber Command Will Protect the US Midterm Elections. Why? | National News | U.S. News
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says US Cyber Command will be tasked with protecting the US midterm elections from cyber threats. The announcement is drawing attention to the military's role in election security, a sensitive area historically limited by rules restricting domestic military operations and questions about how far the Pentagon should be involved.
Why now: A defense secretary publicly assigning the military a role in election protection is unusual and raises questions about the scope of that mission ahead of the midterms.
