  2. 1:10Holmes reports growing efforts among lawmakers, including Thomas Massie, to pursue an impeachment vote against Hegseth.
  3. 4:04Raju distinguishes Jeffries' oversight plans from potential House action against Hegseth, which could come next week.

  5. 9:00Tillis rejects a war-only explanation for Republican losses, citing immigration enforcement and communication problems.

Pete Hegseth still has Donald Trump's public backing. But CNN reports that Republican lawmakers and allies are increasingly blaming the defense secretary for their midterm losses, with a House impeachment vote possible as soon as next week.

Kaitlan Collins opens the segment with the backlash over the Iran war. Correspondent Kristen Holmes describes growing support for action against Hegseth, including efforts involving Republican Representative Thomas Massie. According to CNN's reporting, critics argue that Hegseth helped persuade Trump to attack without an exit strategy or a plan for the political consequences.

The upload drew roughly 4.7 million views in its first 13 hours. It brings together three distinct questions after the election: who Republicans blame, whether Congress will act, and whether Trump intends to change course.

On the last question, Trump's answer is direct. Asked about replacing Hegseth, he says: "No, I think he's doing a very good job."

North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis offers Collins a sharply different assessment: "Hegseth's just not the right guy for the job. Nothing personal." But Tillis also rejects the idea that the war alone explains Republican defeats, pointing to immigration enforcement under Kristi Noem and problems communicating with voters.

The congressional reporting makes another distinction. Manu Raju describes Hakeem Jeffries emphasizing oversight rather than impeaching Trump, alongside the potential House action against Hegseth. Those are separate paths, and the report describes a possible vote, not an impeachment already passed.

Tillis's prescription extends beyond replacing one official: he urges cooperation between the White House and Congress rather than repeating the choices that preceded the losses.
