Hakeem Jeffries announced his support for the impeachment of Hegseth, according to an ABC News report. In the headline of its report, the network quoted Jeffries as saying "I'm a hard yes."
According to ABC News, Jeffries, who is expected to become the next speaker of the House, made the announcement during an interview on the program This Week. The network's summary said the interview followed what it described as historic victories by Democrats in Tuesday's election. Neither the headline nor the summary gives Hegseth's position.
The ABC News summary describes the announcement but does not lay out the grounds for impeachment, any timetable for action in the House, or any response from Hegseth. Those details were not in the material reviewed for this story, so they are not reported here. The full report is linked above.
ABC News is the only source for this story. Its summary lists no author, so no byline for the report could be confirmed. No other coverage of Jeffries's remarks was reviewed, and no second account is available to compare with the network's description.
The headline and summary of the ABC News report were the only text available for this story, and the account above relies on them alone. The network described Democrats' victories in Tuesday's election as historic, and it presented those results as the backdrop for the announcement. Its summary did not offer further figures or details about the results.
