Trump announced his support for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth amid Democratic efforts to impeach him after the Democrats won a majority in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections, and Representative Thomas Massie pledged to push for an impeachment vote as soon as the House returns to session.
(CNN) - US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he is not considering replacing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and told reporters: “No, I think he is doing a very good job.”
Asked whether Hegseth could fill Sen. Marsha Blackburn's seat after the Republican senator from Tennessee takes over as governor, Trump replied: "It would be very popular if he did, but I've never heard of that."
The political future of the Secretary of Defense may be at stake after the Democrats were able to win the majority of House seats in the midterm elections. A Democratic victory would breathe new life into the ongoing efforts to remove Hegseth, a measure that only requires a simple majority, which may convince more Republicans to join this trend when a vote is held in the immediate aftermath of the elections.
Republican Representative Thomas Massie pledged to push for a vote to remove Hegseth as soon as the House of Representatives returns to session after the elections.
