Secretary of War Pete Hegseth survives impeachment push as House Republicans vote against Thomas Massie’s resolution.
On November 10, 2026, House Republicans voted by a majority to send Thomas Massie’s impeachment resolution against Pete Hegseth to the House Judiciary Committee. The 211–204 vote delays the War Secretary’s impeachment proceedings. Democrats voted in favor of the resolution, with Massie being the lone Republican to support it.
Following the midterm elections, Republican Thomas Massie introduced eight articles of impeachment accusing Hegseth of committing high crimes and misdemeanors, including violating the War Powers Resolution and authorizing military actions without proper approval. Rep. Dan Newhouse, the speaker pro tempore, announced the results.
Donald Trump Reacts to Pete Hegseth Surviving Impeachment Push
On November 10, 2026, President Donald Trump reacted to the impeachment push against Pete Hegseth. After House Republicans voted against Thomas Massie’s resolution to impeach the Secretary of War, the vote allowed Hegseth to preserve his position.
In his post, Trump called Massie a “major loser,” stating that every other Republican had voted in favor of Hegseth. The president went on to list what he described as “victories.” This included the military intervention in Venezuela and the war in Iran.
He then blamed Democrats for allegedly weaponizing the United States of America, despite Hegseth supposedly being a “great American patriot.” He wrote:
The Democrats’ attempt to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has miserably FAILED! Every single Republican, except Thomas Massie, a major LOSER, voted in favor of Pete. Again, Victories in Venezuela and Iran, the Best Recruitment Numbers in the History of the Military…. and Spirit like rarely seen before, led to the EXONERATION of a Great American Patriot. The Democrats continue to weaponize and abuse the United States of America. They must be stopped!
