What now? Budget fight, Hegseth impeachment on deck for defense-focused lawmakers after midterms

In this episode of Congressional Roundup, Breaking Defense’s Valerie Insinna explores how the Democrats’ sweeping midterm victories could reshape defense spending priorities in Washington . With both chambers changing hands and multiple veteran defense lawmakers departing, Congress faces a major shift in its approach to Pentagon oversight and funding.

Insinna also looks ahead to the lame-duck session, where lawmakers face major decisions on defense funding and a potential reconciliation package. And renewed efforts to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth could force House Republicans into a politically difficult vote.

在本期《国会动态综述》中，《防务新闻》的瓦莱丽·因西纳探讨了民主党在中期选举中取得的压倒性胜利将如何重塑华盛顿的国防开支优先事项。随着参众两院换届，以及多位资深国防议员的离任，国会在监督和拨款五角大楼方面面临着重大转变。

因西纳还展望了跛脚鸭会期，届时议员们将面临国防拨款和潜在的预算协调方案等重大决策。此外，再次发起弹劾国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯的行动，可能会迫使众议院共和党人进行一次政治上棘手的投票。
