Story summary

As of November 10, 2026, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has become a primary target for political fallout following Republican losses in the midterm elections, with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) reintroducing articles of impeachment against him. President Donald Trump initially defended Hegseth, saying he was "doing a great job," but Democrats in the House are moving forward with plans to investigate and potentially impeach him for his role in the Iran war. Massie introduced eight articles accusing Hegseth of violating Congress' constitutional authority to declare war and other high crimes and misdemeanors. The articles aim to hold Hegseth accountable for the disastrous war, which contributed significantly to Republican losses. However, Massie now signals flexibility on voting procedures, potentially allowing separate votes on each article.

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.
