You've said you're a hard yes on that move to impeach him. Will this new Democratic majority mean more impeachment efforts of more Trump administration officials? Well, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. We're focused right now on making sure we're doing everything possible to hold people accountable for what has happened up until this point, which is why I'm a hard yes on the Hegseth resolution. He's abused his power. He's undermined our national security. And Pete Hegseth is the architect of this reckless and costly war of choice in Iran, which has made our country less safe and made life more expensive for the American people. Could that accountability mean more impeachment efforts along the way, though?
