House Republican leaders blocked Rep. Thomas Massie's effort to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Tuesday evening.The House voted 211 to 204 to send Massie's impeachment resolution to the House Judiciary Committee. The vote effectively kills the measure and heads off a full impeachment vote that could have come as soon as Wednesday.Massie, a Kentucky Republican who is leaving Congress, forced the vote by filing a privileged resolution. Under House rules, a privileged resolution must be taken up within two legislative days, so he was able to bring it to the floor even though GOP leaders objected.The resolution includes eight articles of impeachment accusing Hegseth of misusing his office. The articles cover the Iran war, U.S. strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean, and alleged retaliation against Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., over a video urging troops to refuse "unlawful orders."Hegseth went after Massie personally at a press conference Tuesday morning. He called the effort "a political spectacle" and said it was not oversight or accountability.Republicans had worried that many of their members would be absent after a rough midterm showing last week. Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., still got the votes to block the resolution before leaving his leadership post.#Congress #Hegseth #FloridaPolitics ...

BREAKING: House Republicans have chosen U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio to lead their party in Congress after losing the House majority in last week's midterm elections.Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, defeated House Majority Leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana in a closed-door, secret-ballot vote Tuesday. He will serve as House minority leader when the new Congress convenes in January.The leadership race opened after House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would step aside as the top House Republican following the party's midterm losses. Democrats won control of the House on Election Night.Jordan co-founded the House Freedom Caucus and was its first chairman. In his pitch to colleagues, he said "offense, not defense, wins elections."This was a rematch of 2023. That year, Scalise beat Jordan 113-99 in the Republican conference vote for speaker, but Scalise later withdrew when he couldn't get enough support on the House floor. Johnson ultimately won the gavel after weeks of infighting.Senate Republicans are also choosing their leaders today. Majority Leader John Thune is expected to become minority leader without a challenger.#JimJordan #Congress #FloridaPolitics ...
