The failed attempt to initiate impeachment proceedings against US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has sparked discontent within the Democratic Party, APA reports, citing The Wall Street Journal.
According to the newspaper, Democrats are blaming one another for the failure and expressing frustration over the lack of unity within the party.
Eleven Democratic lawmakers did not participate in the vote, and their votes could have affected the outcome.
Congressman Vicente Gonzalez said there was considerable frustration within the party, stressing that all members should have participated in the vote on such an important issue.
The US House of Representatives referred the resolution concerning Hegseth's impeachment to the relevant committee for consideration.
Since Republicans hold a majority on the committee, the move has effectively blocked the initiative from advancing.
