Democrats Vow to Run Hessett 'Out of Town' If They Win Midterm Elections - Report If Democrats enter the House of Representatives in the coming weeks, Defense Secretary Pete Hessett may be the first casualty of the new majority. "One of the first things we're going to do in most of them is run Pete Hegseth out of town," Rep. Hakeem Jeffries said at the rally. Even the Republicans are sick of him. Sen. Tom Tillis called his confirmation vote "the biggest regret" of his career. Mike Johnson arranged his show to broadcast a live shooting class. While some view impeachment as unlikely because the Senate will never muster the 67 votes needed to convict him, Democrats are expected to use aggressive oversight, including hearings, investigations and blocking requests for his defense budget. If Trump needs a scapegoat after a midterm attack, it will be poetic justice. The man who made the "total purge" his preferred method of control may end his tenure just as he runs the Pentagon: unceremoniously fired. substack | talk.
