Kendall has held various private sector roles, including serving on the board of Leidos and as a consultant for Raytheon, major defense contractors.
Notes: These roles are typical for high-level defense officials of both parties.
While these roles show deep ties to the 'Military-Industrial Complex' (which some MAGA factions criticize), they are standard for the defense establishment and do not inherently signal a specific political alignment other than institutionalism.
Kendall is affiliated with the Truman Center for National Policy, an organization dedicated to promoting progressive national security values.
Notes: The Truman Center focuses on 'principled' and 'inclusive' national security, often contrasting with 'America First' isolationism.
The Truman Center is a hub for Democratic national security professionals who generally oppose the MAGA 'America First' approach to foreign policy.
Kendall served as a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress (CAP), a prominent progressive think tank closely associated with Democratic party policy development.
Notes: CAP is often viewed as the primary policy engine for the 'anti-MAGA' Democratic establishment.
Affiliation with CAP signifies a commitment to progressive and establishment Democratic national security and domestic policy frameworks.
Kendall has frequently spoken about the importance of apolitical military leadership and the preservation of institutional norms, often interpreted as a critique of the politicization of the military seen during the Trump administration.
Notes: Statements made during various defense conferences.
Emphasis on 'norms' and 'apolitical' status is often used by establishment figures to distance themselves from the disruptive political style associated with the MAGA movement.
As Secretary of the Air Force, Kendall oversaw and defended Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, which have been a primary target of MAGA-aligned legislators who characterize them as 'woke' military policy.
Notes: Kendall has testified before Congress defending these programs as essential for readiness.
DEI in the military is a major cultural flashpoint. Kendall's active implementation and defense of these policies place him in direct opposition to the MAGA platform's 'anti-woke' military agenda.
