US House to Vote on Pete Hegseth Impeachment Resolution Tuesday

The US House of Representatives is expected to vote Tuesday on whether to proceed with an impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, introduced by Congressman Thomas Massie. A procedural vote will first determine if the measure can advance to a full debate and vote on the charges. Massie, a Kentucky Republican, said the initial vote would decide the resolution's fate, with proceedings scheduled to begin at 10 am Eastern Time and final votes anticipated around 5:30 pm. He formally introduced the articles Monday, triggering a 48-hour period for the chamber to act, with options including a direct vote, committee referral, or setting the measure aside. President Donald Trump has defended Hegseth, giving him an "A" grade and criticizing Massie as a "TOTAL LOSER" on Truth Social. Hegseth dismissed the effort as a "sham," while Massie argued impeachment now could prevent a larger Democratic confrontation after they gain control of Congress next year.
