House Speaker Johnson Ends Session Early Amid Impeachment Clash and Midterm Push
Speaker Mike Johnson recessed the House early ahead of the November midterms, framing the session as a historic success for Republicans. The move followed a contentious floor debate where Rep. Cori Massie attempted to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a move Johnson dismissed as a stunt. Democrats criticized the GOP for inaction on affordability, while Massie used his final days in office to attack the administration’s war policies and legislative overreach.
