- El-Sayed told Hegseth to resign after the impeachment effort stalled.
- The House voted 211-204 to refer the resolution to committee.
- Hegseth defended the military operations as lawful.

## Summary

Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed urged US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to resign, saying he had mishandled the war and was failing in his responsibilities. His comments followed a failed effort to impeach Hegseth, while he also criticised 11 absent Democrats and linked the Iran war to voters’ concerns about affordability.

The House voted 211-204 to send Rep. Thomas Massie’s impeachment resolution to the Judiciary Committee, avoiding a full impeachment vote. El-Sayed said he would assess any future impeachment effort on its merits; Hegseth defended US operations in Iran, Venezuela and Yemen as lawful and called the effort a political spectacle.
