A cocktail reception and a delayed return to Congress feature in LBC's explanation of why an effort to advance Pete Hegseth's impeachment failed.

Simon Marks reports that Republicans prevailed by seven votes, while 11 Democrats did not cast ballots. He says those missing votes would have been enough to give supporters a majority to advance the impeachment effort.

The additional detail in LBC's account is the explanation for the absences. According to Marks, the Democrats posted messages on social media saying they had been stuck in Washington traffic behind a police-escorted bus.

He reports that they had attended a Capitol Hill cocktail reception welcoming newly elected members of the Democratic caucus following the midterm elections. His conclusion is tentative: "it looks like they simply mistimed their return to Congress."

The clip concerns a failed attempt to advance impeachment, rather than a Senate trial or a vote to remove Hegseth from office.
