Hegseth impeachment effort fails as Republicans elect new leader

The effort to impeach Pete Hegseth has failed for now. Critics of the Pentagon chief, they're likely to regroup next year. And this is going to be, as we get to Doug, a new Congress taking shape. And as we know, there was a blue wave. So it might be a little different situation next year. A lot of changes in store. Good morning. Republicans in the House were able to hold the line on this impeachment effort and essentially derail it yesterday. But next year, that could all change. 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 re-elected as the Democratic leader. Okay, there's one vote he will not get, but Schumer is likely to overall have the support he needs. To once again lead the Democratic majority in the Senate. Back to you guys. You're going to expect the unexpected, if you will. All right, Doug, thank you. It is 7.13.
