El-Sayed on Call for Hegseth Resignation: ‘You’re Not Good at This’

El-Sayed criticized Hegseth’s leadership and called the failed impeachment effort a sign the defense secretary should step down.

  • On Tuesday, Michigan Senator-Elect Abdul El-Sayed told Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to "Just resign" during a CNN interview, declaring he was "really bad at this."
  • El-Sayed's comments followed a failed impeachment effort when the House voted 211-204 to refer a resolution to the Judiciary Committee, with Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie leading the push citing alleged Iran war abuses.
  • President Donald Trump defended Hegseth on Truth Social, declaring the impeachment attempt "has miserably FAILED," while Hegseth rejected the effort as a political attack that "is not patriotism."
  • House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries alleged Hegseth "abused his power" and "undermined our national security," while Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer called for his removal from the Pentagon.
  • Democrats are expected to take control of Congress in January 2027, potentially granting new opportunities for scrutiny as the administration faces ongoing questions regarding the Iran war.
