House Republicans on November 10, 2026, successfully blocked an effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The House voted 211-204 on a procedural motion to refer the impeachment resolution, introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie, to the Judiciary Committee. This action effectively halted a planned floor vote on the articles of impeachment.
The resolution had focused largely on Hegseth’s role in the Iran conflict. President Trump has publicly supported Hegseth, describing him as having contributed to what the administration views as a successful military campaign.
The vote occurred in the current Republican-controlled House during the lame-duck session, ahead of Democrats taking majority control in January 2027. Eleven Democrats did not participate in the vote.
In related leadership news, House Republicans elected Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio as their next minority leader for the incoming Congress.
