US House may vote as early as next week on impeaching Defense Secretary Hegseth

The significance here is less about Hegseth personally than about the politics of blame: an impeachment push advancing with expected Republican support signals a party trying to contain fallout from a historic midterm defeat by assigning responsibility to a cabinet figure. That makes the Defense Secretary's tenure the pressure point, with the administration's stability and the party's internal cohesion at stake. Whether the vote proceeds as Massie intends, and whether the expected support materializes once members are on the record, is the open question worth watching.
