Former Pennsylvania congressional candidate and combat veteran Sean Parnell has been picked to serve as the chief Pentagon spokesperson for the Trump administration. President Trump announced the new role at the Pentagon for Parnell on his Truth Social page Monday evening.

President Donald Trump named Joe Kent as director of the National Counterterrorism Center and Sean Parnell as the lead spokesman for the Pentagon on Monday. The president announced the appointments in separate posts on Truth Social.

Parnell was endorsed by Trump when he previously ran for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. “This look is all about American exceptionalism,” she said of her pro-Trump ensemble on the Grammys red carpet.
