On Tuesday, the House voted 211–204 to refer eight articles of impeachment filed against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to the House Judiciary Committee. The Republican-controlled committee is not expected to take further action, effectively ending the impeachment attempt. 11 Democrats were absent from the vote, which allowed Republicans to pass the referral measure and avoid a floor vote on impeachment.
In the latest edition of A Grain of Saul, Isaac discusses how post-election claims of widespread fraud have differed this year compared to past cycles. He writes:
Election denialism is pretty much dead. Could it be resurrected? Perhaps. But for now, there isn’t a single losing candidate in any race denying the results of their election, nor is the president shouting from the rooftops that this sweeping rebuke of his presidency was somehow rigged.
