Why are so many Vance allies leaving the Trump administration?

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll recently resigned, sparking speculation about a broader shift within the Trump administration that has marginalized critics of the president's foreign policy. Driscoll, a longtime ally of Vice President JD Vance, had praised his efforts to modernize the Army but clashed with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the dismissal of several senior military officials. Driscoll reportedly raised these concerns directly with Trump, who claimed he was unaware of the extent of the dismissals. This resignation follows a series of high-profile exits by Vance's allies, including former intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard and others. The timing coincides with the second Trump administration reaching its midpoint, with speculation growing about a potential power struggle between Vance and Senator Marco Rubio for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination. Some analysts suggest Vance's allies are preparing for future political campaigns, while others argue the departures reflect personal considerations.
