The current Secretary of Defense appears to endorse the repeal of women’s constitutional right to vote.

The current Secretary of Defense under President Donald Trump (as of August 2025) shared or promoted a video in which a man argues that women should not have the right to vote. This action has raised concerns and interpretations about the Secretary's stance on women's suffrage.

However, promoting or sharing content does not necessarily equate to an explicit endorsement of all views expressed in that content. There is no public statement or official position from the Secretary explicitly calling for the repeal of women's constitutional voting rights.

The video in question features Douglas Wilson, a pastor known for controversial views including opposition to women's voting rights, but these views are his own and not officially tied to the Secretary of Defense.

Media coverage highlights the promotion of this video by the Secretary but stops short of confirming that he personally supports repealing the 19th Amendment or any constitutional change.

Therefore, while the Secretary’s action is concerning and suggests at least some level of sympathy or tolerance for these views, it is misleading to claim definitively that he endorses repealing women’s constitutional right to vote without clearer evidence.
