Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth avoided an impeachment vote in the House, but Democrats could launch a new effort when they take control of Congress. On Washington Week With The Atlantic, panelists joined to discuss this and more.
“We have to remember that we’re a nation at war,” Michele Norris, a senior contributing editor at MS NOW, argued last night. “Normally, when a country is at war, you’re trying to build a case for what you’re doing; you’re trying to bring along the American public.” What Hegseth is facing is “a larger problem than just impeachment,” she added.
Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more: John Dickerson, a contributing writer at The Atlantic; Jonathan Karl, a chief Washington correspondent at ABC News; and Norris.
