Jeffries backs Hegseth impeachment as 'hard yes'

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he is a "hard yes" on supporting impeachment efforts against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with a vote expected this week. Jeffries accused Hegseth of abusing power, undermining national security, and engineering a costly war in Iran that has raised prices and made the country less safe. His endorsement signals how other House Democrats may vote on the measure. The impeachment push follows low voter approval of the administration's Iran war handling, which factored into midterms. Rep. Thomas Massie filed a similar resolution in September, but votes were postponed until after the election.
