House adjourns early to delay Hegseth impeachment vote until after midterms
House Speaker Mike Johnson canceled Thursday’s session, sending lawmakers home early for the midterm recess. This move delays a vote on Rep. Thomas Massie’s resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth until after the November 3 election. While GOP leaders claim the schedule change is unrelated to the impeachment effort, critics argue it avoids a politically difficult vote amid an unpopular war with Iran.
