Hung Cao missed out on being a Virginia Senator in 2024, but now he’s joining President Donald Trump’s team as the U.S. Under Secretary of the Navy.
His Senate campaign video is a great intro to the man. (WATCH)
🚨 JUST IN: Trump names HUNG CAO the U.S. Under Secretary of the Navy.
This guy is BADA*S. This was his U.S. Senate campaign launch for Virginia in the 2024 election.
TRUMP: “Hung is the embodiment of the American Dream.“

Republican Hung Cao lost to Democrat Senator Tim Kaine by nine points in November.
Outstanding choice. How in the Hell did Tim Kaine beat him in the Senate race?

Super happy for @HungCao_VA !!!
Great patriot!!
Gave tough fight in senate race in 2024.
I’m sure he will be in congress sooner or later, but his service in Navy will be of great help to the country!!!— ashtronaut (@iamashtronaut) February 28, 2025
He is. I wish he had won in VA. We needed him here. Glad he will be moving on. He deserves it.

Commenters say Virginia’s loss is our nation’s gain. They say he’ll be a fine addition to Trump’s impressive team.

I was wondering what position Trump was going to offer. He seemed like a very honest, hard-working and pro Trump. I think he would be perfect for that position with his military experience and credentials..

Hung Cao is the American Dream in action.

Some posters are already familiar with Cao’s career. His credentials are top-notch.
Cao has an impressive career. Special operations EOD and deep sea diving, combat, Pentagon budget officer, and four years with FBI Joint Task Force alongside DHS. Then on to politics. He ought to be fantastic as Under Sec Navy.

I like this guy 👍 he went from Captain to Secretary. That’s the Trump affect. He’s definitely not DC. Should be fun working in the Pentagon. Him and Pete will be best buds. I can already tell.

Hegseth’s 44 years old and Cao appears to be in his early 50s. We expect the two will hit it off immediately.
