Vance’s assessment

Vance had earlier offered a data-driven analysis after speaking with pollsters. He determined the war played a major role in voters shifting toward Democrats, resulting in Republicans losing control of Congress in key races. The vice president called for open discussion on whether that price was worth paying.

Impeachment drama

Just days later, Rep. Thomas Massie introduced eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth. The charges cite constitutional and legal violations tied to military operations in Iran, Yemen, Venezuela and the Caribbean. Hegseth brushed off the move as a political stunt, arguing that congressional oversight must rise above spectacle, and stated his department would apply lessons learned moving ahead.
