House Speaker Mike Johnson canceled Thursday’s scheduled votes by calling an early recess, preventing a vote on Thomas Massie’s impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Massie and Rep. Pramila Jayapal criticized the move, while Johnson called the resolution a publicity stunt.
Coverage reports that Thomas Massie introduced an impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The House recessed early before it was considered, leaving the resolution without a vote.
Left-leaning outlets foreground a Republican lawmaker’s threat against Hegseth’s critics as he defended the secretary. Center outlets focus on Speaker Mike Johnson’s early recess and the resulting lack of a vote, while including both Massie’s criticism and Johnson’s defense.
