Democrats are facing an internal backlash after 11 of their lawmakers missed a crucial House vote to advance the impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, allowing Republicans to block the effort 211-204.
Some Democrats blamed traffic delays, medical procedures or personal emergencies, while others blamed their colleagues for not showing up for a critical vote.
Some lawmakers also criticized the Democratic leadership for the defeat, which came just days after the party's midterm victories.
