Eight days before the midterm election, two things have become certain. Democrats are going to take back the House, and after they do, Democrats are going to impeach Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
There is a list of Trump cabinet members who are likely to quit when Democrats win back the House, because they will be facing impeachment. Pete Hegseth is at the top of the list, followed by RFK Jr., and Linda McMahon, who has destroyed the Department of Education.

There will be an exodus of people out of the Trump administration after the midterm election. Karoline Leavitt got an early start out the door, but will be far from the last person to leave.
Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) said last month on MS NOW:
Donald Trump himself has said it multiple times, that he’s planning to give pardons to everyone in his circle. But I actually very much disagree with the idea that we shouldn’t be trying to use every tool we have in the toolbox.
In particular, we have cabinet secretaries like Pete Hegseth, who Republicans think should be impeached at this point because of his illegal killings in the illegal war, and what we’ve seen over the last year is that when Congress did file impeachments, folks like Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi were actually fired by the President because the American people were clear they didn’t want them in those jobs of trust.
So I think there’s a number of cabinet secretaries that have blatantly broken the law, done unconstitutional things, and I think they better get ready because we’ll come for them.
The threats from House Democrats have gotten to Hegseth, so he is trying to get out before Democrats take back power.
