11 House Democrats and 7 House Republicans did not vote on whether to kill an effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, giving GOP leaders the numbers to successfully kill Rep. Thomas Massie’s impeachment effort.
Reporters had asked House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries about absences contributing to the vote, and told reporters that “this is not the end” after the chamber voted.
When Jeffries, who is set to become House speaker next year, was asked earlier how Democrats would approach Hegseth in the new Congress, he said they would have that conversation “at the appropriate time.”
