Secretary of War Pete Hegseth faces a bipartisan impeachment threat as House Republicans say a privileged resolution could pass when Congress returns.

What the coverage shows

All six outlets frame the story around Hegseth facing impeachment pressure after Republicans’ midterm losses, with Fox News, NBC News and CBS News emphasizing the threat itself. The Hill and ABC News foreground uncertainty around his future and Trump’s stance, while South China Morning Post is the only outlet quoted on Hegseth directly dismissing the push as one that “won’t work.” CBS News alone also mentions Republicans describing the election as a major campaign failure.
