https://www.rawstory.com/who-will-be-next-national-security-adviser/"Currently, a leading pick [to replace him] is Trumps special envoy Steve Witkoff, who is shepherding negotiations with Russia, Iran and Hamas in Gaza, according to the three of the people," reported Politico. "Other possible contenders include Trumps top policy chief Stephen Miller, National Security Council senior director for counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka and Trumps special envoy for special missions Richard Grenell."
The rumored replacements stunned many observers.
"If youll all excuse me I must return to my home world," said political science professor Daniel Drezner.
"I said Trump would find someone worse, but if he chooses [any of] these folks, it will be really hard to find someone worse than them when he fires them," replied political scientist Steve Saideman. "Worse than Grenell or Gorka?"
"They're gonna replace Waltz with... Witkoff?" posted author and editor Benjamin Dreyer. "Oh boy."
