House GOP leadership is preparing for sufficient party defections to pass an impeachment vote against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth this week.
Oddsmakers are expecting the same.
BetOnline's odds for Hegseth to be impeached have ballooned to -400, which equates to an implied probability of 80 percent.
Will Pete Hegseth be impeached?
Yes -400
No +250
That number hasn't changed much over the past 24 hours as many pundits believe Hegseth would be the main fall guy following the Democrats sweeping wins last week.
Hegseth dug in for a fight Tuesday against his potential impeachment in Congress, telling reporters that a rogue lawmaker is targeting him over “policy disagreements” and not the high crimes or offenses the nation’s founders intended.
The embattled Pentagon chief spoke at his first press briefing from the five-sided building in six months, launching a counteroffensive against outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie’s effort to impeach him over his handling of the unpopular war against Iran and other actions.
