"We only needed seven, and 11 people didn't show up?" Josh Welch asks. The arithmetic drives an I've Had It episode about Democratic lawmakers missing a vote on Pete Hegseth's impeachment resolution, and whether their leaders could have prevented the setback.
Jennifer Welch opens with the absences before Josh explains the procedural stakes: the missing votes could have helped block a motion sending the resolution to committee. This was not a vote that would itself have removed Hegseth from office.
Jennifer reads a report attributing several lawmakers' delays to traffic after an Elect Democratic Women event. Later, she reads Hakeem Jeffries' response to questions about attendance. Between those explanations, the hosts play Michigan senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed's CNN appearance, in which he calls for Hegseth to resign and tells lawmakers to show up for work.
The episode drew nearly 9,000 comments in its first day, although its views were ordinary for the channel. Viewers repeatedly discuss attendance, vote organization and the responsibilities of Democratic leadership, rather than just Hegseth himself.
The closing stretch broadens that leadership question to the Senate, showing Bernie Sanders saying he will not support Chuck Schumer as Democratic leader.
