Lou Correa Misses 211-204 Hegseth Vote After Emergency Open-Heart Surgery

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 12

Summary

  • Rep. Lou Correa said he underwent emergency open-heart surgery on Nov. 10 and is now recovering, explaining why he did not vote on the House impeachment push against War Secretary Pete Hegseth.
  • Correa suffered a heart attack over the weekend, according to the Orange County Register, and said he will return to Washington when medically cleared while continuing district work with his staff.
  • The House voted 211-204 on Tuesday to send the impeachment articles to the Judiciary Committee rather than hold a vote on removing Hegseth.
  • Eleven Democrats and seven Republicans missed the vote; Correa still posted Tuesday that he "vehemently" supports impeaching Hegseth, accusing him of dragging the U.S. into another endless war.
