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.

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.
