U.S. Republican Party blocks vote on Hegseth's defense impeachment bill in the House of Representatives

The U.S. Republican Party blocked a vote on the impeachment bill against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth that was being promoted in the House of Representatives.

According to Reuters on the 10th (local time), the U.S. House of Representatives voted on procedures to refer Hegseth's impeachment bill to the standing committee this evening, with 211 votes in favor and 204 against.

Accordingly, the Hegseth impeachment bill will first be referred to the Judiciary Committee. In fact, the plenary vote on the Hegseth impeachment bill was blocked by the Republican Party.

Among the Republican lawmakers, all except Thomas Massey, who proposed the impeachment bill, are said to have voted in favor.

The chairman of the Judiciary Committee is Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, and Rep. Jordan was elected as the Republican Party floor leader on this day. As soon as Rep. Jordan, a hard-line ally of President Donald Trump, was elected as floor leader, he rallied Republican lawmakers and blocked Secretary Hegseth's impeachment.
