Fox News reports that a Democratic push to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth failed when the House voted 211-204 to send the articles to committee, with 11 absent Democrats—stuck in traffic from a Washington lockdown—never arriving as Republicans trickled in to break a 204-204 tie. Chad Pergram supposes the absences were decisive: even eight Democratic votes would have impeached Hegseth 212-211, and quoted Democrats like Rep.-elect Richard Ojeda say "Shame on them for not showing up."
