Leigh McGowan aka Politics Girl: “Now, the other problem with this Hegseth impeachment committee vote, is that eleven Democrats missed it, and it passed by seven. If all eleven had been in the room and voted no, the motion would have failed, 215 to 211, and Pete Hegseth might have been facing an actual impeachment vote. Not that it would have passed with this particular Congress, but still, it’s the principle. Various reasons were given for missing the vote, and I understand them, but this was the vote of the week, and, as far as I know, everybody knew it was coming, so Democrats just not being there? Honestly? Inexcusable.”
