US Senator-elect El-Sayed urges Hegseth to resign

DUBAI: US Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed called on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday to resign after the House of Representatives voted to send a resolution to impeach him to committee.

In an interview with CNN, El-Sayed said Hegseth had mishandled the war with Iran and had failed at his responsibilities.

“Why are you still doing this job? You are really bad at this … So just resign. Make it easy for everybody instead of, in the end, getting taken out, because that is clearly what’s happening,” he said.

El-Sayed said the war in Iran was the reason the cost of living had increased in America.
