Speaker Mike Johnson recessed the House of Representatives early on Wednesday, effectively ending the legislative session to allow members to return to their districts for midterm election campaigning. Johnson characterized the current legislative body as the most productive Congress in decades as he concluded the session.
The early recess occurred amid internal tension within the Republican party. GOP Representative Thomas Massie issued a scathing rebuke of the Speaker’s actions and initiated a push for the impeachment of Pete Hegseth, highlighting a fracture in party unity during the final days of the session.
