Jeffries Announces Support for Hegseth Impeachment
- The House will likely vote on impeaching Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth this week, with Republican leaders expecting the measure to pass with a simple majority despite party divisions.
- Following Tuesday's midterm elections, lawmakers are pushing impeachment after the Iran war championed by Hegseth contributed to Republicans losing their congressional majority.
- Rep. Thomas Massie is forcing the vote, and according to Axios, the political calculus "has now shifted dramatically" since Tuesday with GOP anger fueling impeachment support.
- Chief spokesman Sean Parnell said Hegseth "will not back down," though removing him from office would require a two-thirds supermajority of 67 Senators in the Upper House.
- While the current House may impeach, Democrats plan to make investigating the Department of War "a key focus of their agenda" next year, though removal remains unlikely in the Senate.
