Secretary of War Pete Haggath facing a growing impeachment threat from both sides of the aisle as President Trump reportedly considers replacing him following Republicans devastating midterm losses. According to Fox News Digital, several House Republicans now believe an effort to impeach Hegsth could succeed as early as next week as anger over the war in Iran intensifies following Tuesday's election. Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky announcing plans to force an impeachment vote when Congress returns unless Secretary Hexath resigns first. Massie previously introducing articles of impeachment against the secretary earlier this year, accusing him of violating federal law and exceeding his authority in directing US military operations. The congressman writing on X yesterday that President Trump should consider replacing Hegsth while Republicans still control the Senate, warning that Democrats will pursue far

more aggressive investigations once they take power in January. Massie planning to introduce what's known as a privileged resolution, a procedural maneuver that would force House lawmakers to address the impeachment effort within two legislative days. Republican leaders could attempt to block the measure by voting to table it or send it to committee, but several GOP lawmakers telling Fox News Digital they believe it could pass. One Republican declaring Haggath is quote screwed. While another predicting the measure would succeed if brought to a vote, the outcome potentially hinging on attendance as some defeated Republicans may choose not to return to Washington for the final weeks of the congressional session. With the GOP holding only a narrow majority, even a handful of Republican absences could give Democrats and Republican defectors enough votes to impeach Secretary Hegsth per Fox Digital. One current White House

official telling Fox the election would have looked dramatically different without the war in Iran, predicting President Trump will ultimately hold Secretary Hegsath accountable before the end of the year. The White House publicly criticizing the impeachment push. spokeswoman Lauren Bis accusing Democrats of pursuing partisan investigations rather than working alongside the president. Secretary Hikth himself firing back in a lengthy video posted to X Thursday, accusing Massie and his Democrat allies of using impeachment as a political weapon.

This is not about me, but of course the other side, in case you've noticed, they're obsessed. a disgruntled, defeated congressman along with all his Democrat allies has also dropped sham articles of impeachment against yours truly just like they tried against President Trump twice. You see, their policies don't work. So, their obsession with political theater disguised as power drives them to try to destroy their opponents. It's all about the politics of personal destruction. Didn't work against President Trump and it won't work with me. You can rest assured of that. Meanwhile, questions mounting about whether Haggathth will remain in President Trump's cabinet. According to CBS News, President Trump has privately asked advisers whether Hex should keep his job, raising the possibility of a shakeup following Republicans sweeping election losses. The network citing multiple sources familiar with the

conversations as several potential scenarios circulate within Republican circles. One involving Florida Governor Ronda Santis, who a source tells CBS is being considered as a possible replacement. D Santis could potentially secure Senate confirmation during the lame duck session, then take over the Department of War when his term as governor expires January 5th. Another possibility involves Hexath leaving the administration for a seat in the US Senate. Tennessee Republican Marshia Blackburn winning her state's governor's race Tuesday, meaning she will have to vacate her Senate seat before taking office in January. Under Tennessee law, the governor can appoint a temporary replacement, and Hexath's name has reportedly surfaced as a possible candidate. Secretary Hexath and his family own a home outside Nashville, although local reporting suggests he is considered a less likely choice for the

appointment. A source close to incoming Governor Marshia Blackburn telling Punch Bowl News that Hegath is not under consideration for the Senate appointment. President Trump asked directly Wednesday whether he was considering replacing Hegath. Are you criticating for replacing secretary in sense?

No, I think he's doing a very good job. You don't want him to kill Marshall Blacker in the Senate to be appointed?

Well, I think he I think he's doing a very good job and I I actually think he'd be very popular if he did that, but I haven't heard that at all.

President Trump pressed about Hikup again yesterday during an appearance in the Oval Office, praising the secretary's performance, but offering no further details about his future in the administration. an armed security guard who is a Marine Corps veteran being hailed as a hero after stopping a gunman who opened fire at a City Bank office complex near Tampa, Florida, shooting the attacker after he killed a woman and stormed into the building's cafeteria. Sheriff Chad Kronister identifying the guard as John Freley, crediting him with confronting the gunman and preventing further bloodshed. The deadly confrontation unfolding Wednesday afternoon at the City Bank Center in Brandon, where more than 3,200 employees were working at the time. According to the Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office, the attack beginning when 35-year-old Jacob Pearson of Orlando drove his gray sedan over several medians, crossed a grassy area,

and smashed through a security fence. The car plowing into an outdoor dining area where employees were eating lunch. Then the driver climbed out carrying a rifle. Chief Deputy Frank Losat describing what happened next.

When he enters the property, he drives over several medians through a grass area, drives through a secure fenced part of the building, crashes into an outdoor seating area where multiple individuals were having lunch. Upon the car coming to rest, the suspect exits the vehicle with a rifle, approaches the female, and she is shot. We will not release the identification on the female. We are still pending full identification and next to kin notification.

Video obtained by the Tampa Bay Times showing the gunman approaching a person on the ground and apparently firing several shots at close range then walking away. Another recording capturing people shouting warnings as the armed suspect approached. The victim identified yesterday as 41-year-old Leanne Selman of Palm Harbor, a City Bank employee of 9 years who died at the scene. The gunman then entering the building's cafeteria were freely hearing the gunshots, rushed toward the danger, taking up a defensive position inside a men's restroom. The Marine veteran then exchanging gunfire with Pearson, fatally wounding the attacker. According to the sheriff's office, Freley stopped the attack just 4 minutes after the first 911 calls came in at 12:11 p.m. The gunman transported to Tampa General Hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly after 1 p.m. A witness describing to WHIO the terrifying

moments as employees scrambled to escape. I was right outside the cafeteria having lunch on the benches outside where he's eating. All of a sudden, I heard people come, people screaming, heard some people running around, and then I saw a big group of people, panicked faces. I heard three shots. Next thing I know, I was sprinting all the way out here.

Four other people hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Sheriff Kronister indicating that some may have been hurt while fleeing the gunfire. The shooting prompting a massive police response. More than 400 law enforcement personnel descending on the campus, including 367 sheriff's deputies.

Wall Street's post-election rally coming to an abrupt end yesterday as stocks plunged across all three major indexes, wiping out Wednesday's gains and marking one of the markets worst trading days since President Trump's sweeping tariff announcement in April 2025. The sell-off hitting technology stocks particularly hard as investors reconsidered the future of the artificial intelligence boom following Democrats massive victories in the midterm elections. According to CNBC, the tech heavy NASDAQ falling 5.5%, its steepest 1-day decline in 19 months. The index now officially in correction territory, meaning it has fallen at least 10% from its previous record high reached October 6th. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shedding more than 1,800 points, a decline of 3.4%, while the S&P 500 losing 4.4%.

All three indexes more than erasing their gains from Wednesday's post-election surge. At the center of the reversal, growing concerns that new restrictions on data centers could slow the massive infrastructure expansion, fueling the AI industry. The election results adding to broader opposition to data center development across the country, raising questions about whether technology companies can continue expanding at their previously anticipated pace. Barry Rholdz, founder of Rhold's Wealth Management, discussing the market's sudden change in direction on Bloomberg Podcasts Thursday.

We're going through the process of digesting. On the one hand, gridlock is great for stocks. We tend to see a rally following uh midterm elections. But then as people started to do a little homework, hey, there were over a dozen uh referendums on various state ballots about restricting data centers and just carving back uh what's been going on uh in an in AI buildout. And so some of this is, hey, this is going to be more complex and more expensive than we originally thought. Maybe we're putting some of our eggs in in one basket and we need to be a little more diversified and not so uh technology semiconductor AI heavy cuz we really have no clarity as to what's going to happen here.

The pressure spreading throughout the semiconductor industry as investors pulled money from companies closely tied to the AI expansion. Chipm giants Nvidia and Broadcom each falling roughly 8% while Qualcomm tumbling about 10% despite beating quarterly earnings expectations. Oracle losing approximately 7% as the sell-off extended beyond chip manufacturers to other major technology companies. Meta declining roughly 4% while Amazon and Google's parent company Alphabet each losing about 2%. Despite yesterday's steep losses, the broader market remaining in positive territory for the year. The S&P 500 still up 7.4% in 2026.
