Market news accounts report the House voted to derail the effort. A congressional reporter's tally puts the vote at 211-204 along mostly party lines, with Massie the only Republican voting no. Another post notes 11 House Democrats missed the vote. Critics say GOP leaders protected Hegseth, while a prediction-market trader mocks stories about GOP resistance.
