Republican Representative Thomas Massie filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on September 15, accusing him of initiating hostilities against Iran without congressional approval. Though unlikely to pass, this move could complicate the upcoming midterm elections for other Republicans in Congress who are facing reelection. The Pentagon responded that it stands behind Hegseth's leadership and actions regarding national security. Polls indicate a shift towards Democratic favoritism ahead of the November midterms.
