Quick Summary

Rep. Nancy Pelosi and ten other Democrats did not participate in a vote to advance articles of impeachment against War Secretary Pete Hegseth, contributing to its failure as the Republican-controlled House narrowly voted against it, 211-204. This decision effectively stalls the impeachment process until Democrats regain control of the House in January 2027.

Story summary

As of November 11, 2026, President Donald Trump dismissed prospects of replacing Pete Hegseth, his Defense Secretary, amid significant Republican losses in the midterm elections and ongoing fallout from the war with Iran. Despite discussions within the White House about potential leadership changes, Trump publicly supported Hegseth, stating he was doing "a very good job." However, Republicans narrowly blocked efforts to impeach Hegseth by voting 211-204 to send articles of impeachment to a committee for further study, effectively delaying any immediate action until Democrats take control of the House in January 2027. The impeachment bid is likely to remain stuck in committee as no Democrat voted in favor, with Nancy Pelosi among those who failed to vote.
