Democratic Rep.-elect Nancy Lacore said there were “probably plenty” of reasons to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in an interview with CBS News’ Face the Nation. Lacore, who won South Carolina’s 1st District in the midterms, said she was never given a reason for her 2025 dismissal as chief of the Navy Reserve, adding that it “doesn’t really matter” now. Newsweek reports she predicted the impeachment issue would be resolved before she takes office, and that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Hegseth “has got to go.” The New York Times reports she supports his ouster. Lacore takes office in January.
