Is this the end for Pete Hegseth?

From the creator

Pressure is mounting on US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, after the Repbulican’s disastrous midterms results. Vice President JD Vance has blamed the losses of both houses of Congress on the Iran War, which has drastically driven up the cost of living in the US. President Trump is so far sticking by Hegseth but Tom Bradby and Jessica Taylor from The Cook Political Report discuss how long that will last. Could a change in Defense Secretary alter the trajectory of the war? Tom and Jessica also discuss whether impeaching Trump for a third time would backfire on the Democrats and whether it is Hegseth instead who could face impeachment. With big wins for Democrats in traditionally Republican states, Tom and Jessica also discuss how tribal America still is. 00:00 Will Hegseth get impeached? 01:40 Will Trump sack Hegseth? 03:28 What does Hegseth's future mean for Iran war? 04:37 How Trump has lost grip on his party 06:04 Supreme Court - could older conservative members stand down to make way for Trump picks? 07:44 Why Democrats are split on third Trump impeachment 09:32 Marco Rubio, Jon Ossof?
