Quick Summary

On Tuesday, the House voted 211-204 to refer Rep. Thomas Massie’s impeachment resolution against War Secretary Pete Hegseth to committee, effectively ending Massie’s effort. Only Massie among Republicans opposed the procedural motion, with all Democrats supporting it. This vote concluded Massie’s attempts to impeach Hegseth over military operations in several countries; these efforts began before his loss in the Republican primary to Ed Gallrein and will end when he leaves Congress next January.

Story summary

Pete Hegseth, Defense Secretary, narrowly avoided impeachment on November 11, 2026, after a majority in the House of Representatives voted against referring impeachment articles to a committee. The move was led by Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who accused Hegseth of waging war on Iran without congressional authorization and executing unlawful military orders. Despite widespread criticism following Republican losses in the midterm elections largely due to Trump's Iran war, President Donald Trump continued to support Hegseth, stating he is "doing a great job." The failure of the impeachment measure was attributed to solidarity among House Republicans and concerns that punishing military leadership for lawful operations could endanger national security.
