Story summary

As of November 9, 2026, Hakeem Jeffries, the incoming Democratic leader of the U.S. House of Representatives, has strongly backed impeaching Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense under President Donald Trump, following significant Republican losses in midterm elections. Democrats plan to use their new majority in Congress to investigate Trump’s administration and have indicated they will introduce impeachment measures against Hegseth as soon as this week. Despite calls for his resignation or removal from several lawmakers due to the ongoing conflict with Iran, Trump has stood by Hegseth, stating that he is doing "a very good job." However, White House insiders suggest that Trump might reconsider in light of mounting pressure and the need for stability amid planned military operations.
