IMPEACHMENT LOOMS: Lame-Duck Congress Faces Chaos as 109 Freshmen Take the Oath
In a shocking move, at least 109 incoming House freshmen will be seated in the 120th Congress, the largest pre-convening freshmen class in almost 100 years. As Congress returns for a five-week lame-duck session, lawmakers face a long to-do list, including a government funding deadline and the impeachment of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie is expected to reintroduce a privileged resolution to impeach Hegseth, who is facing criticism from both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. The lame-duck session is set to be a contentious one, with several key battles shaping up. The House Speaker, Mike Johnson, is already facing pressure from his own conference, and the Senate is bracing for the loss of control. With multiple leadership elections and key legislative battles looming, this lame-duck session is shaping up to be one of the most dramatic in recent history. Will the Democrats be able to capitalize on their midterm victories, or will the Republicans find a way to stall their momentum? Stay tuned to find out.
