Three Democrats blame police escort for missing Hegseth impeachment vote

hindustantimes.com —

Three Democratic lawmakers missed a November 10 House vote on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, blaming a police escort and traffic incident for blocking their entry to the Capitol. The motion to kill the impeachment push passed 211-204, with 18 members not voting. Representatives Melanie Stansbury, Laura Gillen, and Jonathan Jackson stated they intended to vote against the procedural motion, which referred impeachment articles to the Judiciary Committee. All three filed "no" votes in the Congressional Record, asserting Hegseth must be impeached over US military actions in the Middle East and Latin America. A Drop Site News journalist reported seeing nothing impeding traffic, while a separate police chase crash occurred about 3.9 miles from the Capitol. Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed urged Democrats to "show up and do your job."
