Republican plans Hegseth impeachment vote after Democratic midterm sweep
Kentucky’s Thomas Massie plans to trigger a House vote as soon as next week; Trump says he is not considering replacing Hegseth
Republican Congressman Thomas Massie plans to trigger a House impeachment vote against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth when Congress returns next week, amid voter discontent over the Iran war following Democrats’ Tuesday midterm sweep of both chambers. Multiple Republican sources expect the measure to pass, according to CNN, though Hegseth’s removal would require a two-thirds Senate majority that Democrats will not have even in the new Congress.
