Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader in the House, called for Pete Hegseth's resignation from the Pentagon, accusing him of power abuse and initiating a costly war with Iran. Jeffries aims to rally Congress to remove Hegseth, criticizing his actions that allegedly compromised national security and increased costs for Americans. Hegseth, appointed in January 2025, has led several military operations, including against Iran and Boko Haram. Jeffries' remarks position him as a potential candidate for House Speaker after Mike Johnson's departure in 2027.
