“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is breathing a sigh of relief Tuesday evening after the House of Representatives effectively shelved eight articles of impeachment against him over the war in Iran. Tuesday’s vote saved him from a damaging rebuke of the unpopular war, and he has some Democrats, including San Francisco Rep. Nancy Pelosi, to thank for it. Hegseth faced eight articles of impeachment …. Republicans called a vote Tuesday to refer the articles to the Judiciary Committee, effectively killing the impeachment for the year, according to the New York Times. The vote passed 211-204 almost entirely on party lines, with a sole Republican, Kentucky’s Rep. Thomas Massie, who introduced the impeachment articles, voting no alongside Democrats. But 11 Democrats missed Tuesday’s vote, meaning Hegseth could still have been facing impeachment if those Democrats had showed up and voted no.” (11/10/26)
