🔻 Republicans prevented voting on the impeachment of Hegset on the House floor

Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives, with their vote, prevented the impeachment articles against Pete Hegset, the defense minister, from being presented for a final vote on the floor of the House.

Representatives voted 211 to 204 to refer the impeachment request to the relevant committee, meaning that in the remaining weeks of this congressional term it will not be considered for the final vote.

The impeachment motion was formally introduced on Monday by Thomas Massey, a Republican member of the House whose term is ending; however, it will now be referred to a committee and is unlikely to reach the House floor during the current congressional session.
