“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has 11 Democratic House members to thank for tanking the nascent effort to impeach him.”
Honeslty, mate, this vote to send the impeachment inquiry to a committee a month and a half before a congress with any chance of passing it in the house and very little if any chance of passing it in the senate is a bit overglorified when called an “effort to impeach him.”
Even if 100% of the Democrats were there for every procedural vote on the matter every time, the Republicans would just have to show up once to vote it down. Besides, is the Senate more likely to convict now, or two months from now?
