Eleven House Democrats missed a key procedural vote on eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, helping Republicans block the effort.

The House voted 211-204 to refer the articles to the Judiciary Committee, effectively shelving the measure for the remainder of the current Congress.

Several absent Democrats attributed their absence to traffic delays near the Capitol, including an incident involving a police-escorted bus. Others cited conflicting commitments or medical reasons.

💡
Their absence drew criticism from fellow Democrats, who argued that the missed votes could have affected the outcome.

Democratic leaders have indicated they may revive the impeachment effort if the party regains control of the House in January 2027.
