11 Democrats Miss Hegseth Impeachment Vote, Stalling Effort in House
- On Tuesday, the House voted 211-204 to refer eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to the Judiciary Committee, effectively halting the immediate effort. Eleven Democrats were absent from the chamber.
- Republican Representative Thomas Massie initiated the effort, filing eight articles targeting Hegseth's conduct during the Iran war. President Donald Trump celebrated the result as an "EXONERATION" of the secretary.
- Lawmakers cited traffic delays and scheduling conflicts for absences; Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi attended a Veterans Day event in San Francisco instead. Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove criticized the failures, saying members "should have gotten their raggedy selves" to the Capitol.
- Federal Election Commission records show 10 of the 11 absent Democrats received contributions from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee between January 2022 and October 2026. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries faced internal criticism over caucus discipline.
- Democrats plan to revisit impeachment in January when they assume control of both congressional chambers, making this procedural defeat a temporary setback. The Pentagon chief faces ongoing scrutiny over his conduct during the Iran war.
