Republicans quickly turn against Pete Hegseth after midterms rout
President Trump launched a war that contributed to Republican losses in the midterm elections. The losses have prompted Republicans to blame Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, citing factors like high energy prices that shifted voter support to Democrats. Trump has asked his advisers whether Hegseth should keep his job. Hegseth now faces significant pressure from within the Republican party as officials search for explanations of the midterm outcome.
