Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and other progressives pushed to impeach President Trump over his Iran strikes, but Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) declared the effort “dead on arrival,” saying impeachment talk cheapens its meaning. Even some Democrats admitted the push had no real chance, though they accused Trump of bypassing Congress.
Republicans strongly defended Trump, with Vice President J.D. Vance and Speaker Mike Johnson saying the president acted within his authority to stop Iran. GOP lawmakers also blasted Democrats for hypocrisy, noting past presidents used military force without facing impeachment calls.
