Hegseth Beats Ouster Bid

Republicans in the U.S. House thwarted an effort to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over the war with Iran. The House voted 211–204 to refer the impeachment resolution to the Judiciary Committee, effectively blocking a scheduled vote on formally charging him. The articles of impeachment accused Hegseth of violating the War Powers Resolution by failing to consult Congress about military interventions.

Vance voiced their support for him, and Vance denied that Hegseth had committed impeachable offenses.
