Republican campaign blames Pete Hegseth for midterm losses, CNN reports

rawstory.com —

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces a growing Republican campaign to blame him for the party's midterm election losses, according to CNN reporting. Republicans are attributing the defeat to the unpopular Iran war, with Vice President JD Vance posting that the war caused the loss of the Senate. GOP sources accuse Hegseth of pushing President Trump into Iran without an exit strategy and misrepresenting U.S. capabilities. Rep. Thomas Massie plans to trigger an impeachment vote against Hegseth next week, which several GOP sources believe will pass. Trump privately praised Hegseth as "his best guy" two days ago, leaving his fate uncertain.
