ABC News reported that Hakeem Jeffries, the leader of the Democratic minority in the US House of Representatives, supported the impeachment of Secretary of War Pete Gast on Sunday, November 8, and said that he would vote in favor of the impeachment resolution.
Jeffries said on ABC News' "This Week" program: "I strongly vote in favor of the impeachment resolution against Guest. The man who is the so-called Secretary of War has abused his power, weakened our national security and launched this reckless, expensive and selective war on Iran; A war that greatly increased the prices for the American people and made the country more unsafe."
"Pete Guest has to go," he added.
In response to the question of Jonathan Carle, the host of the program, about the possibility that all Democrats in the House of Representatives will support this resolution, Jeffries said that the members of the party will discuss it on Tuesday in their first meeting in Washington after the midterm elections.
"But I believe there will be very broad support for this decision," he emphasized.
