Speaker Johnson Cancels House Votes, Delays Impeachment Vote for Hegseth

Speaker Mike Johnson canceled House votes planned for Thursday, sending members home until after the November elections.
This decision delays the impeachment vote for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie, until mid-November.
Rep. Massie alleges that Johnson's cancellation was a strategic move to avoid a politically sensitive vote on Hegseth's impeachment.
