House blocks effort to impeach Pete Hegseth

The effort to impeach Pete Hegseth has failed. Critics of the Pentagon are likely to regroup next year, though, as a new Congress, of course, takes shape. Doug Lazader has more from Washington this morning. The motion is adopted. With the fall of the gavel, the House voted to essentially table the resolution to impeach Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth. What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting. Is not oversight. Hegseth had gone after Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie, the Republican who introduced the impeachment resolution and the only member of his caucus to support it. America needs a serious Secretary of Defense, not a wannabe warlord. Democrats though may try again next year when they control both chambers of Congress. And the leadership for that new Congress is taking shape. Over the next two years, House Republicans will fight for American families. A combative Ohio Congressman, Jim Jordan, was selected to lead the Republican minority in the House next year. And South Dakota's John Thune will remain the Republican leader in the Senate. We got a lot of work to be done to- Get back into the majority. Democrats are expected to support Hakeem Jeffries as the new Speaker of the House. But there will be at least some opposition to Chuck Schumer's return as Senate Majority Leader. The time is now for change. And I will not be supporting Chuck to be reelected as the Democratic leader. Still Schumer is likely to have the support he needs to once again lead the Democratic The Democratic majority in the Senate. Back to you guys. All right, Doug Lazader live in Washington. Thank you, Doug.
