Story summary

As of November 10, 2026, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing calls for impeachment from Republicans following the U.S.'s war with Iran, which contributed to significant Republican losses in midterm elections. Despite mounting pressure and criticism, President Donald Trump has stood by Hegseth, saying he is "doing a great job." Rep. Thomas Massie introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth in the House, accusing him of waging war without congressional approval and other violations of constitutional law. Hegseth dismissed these efforts as "a farce" during a defiant press conference at the Pentagon, blaming media criticism rather than addressing accusations directly. With Democrats set to take control of Congress, Hegseth's future remains uncertain amid potential investigations into his leadership role in the Iran war.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
