In this episode of Congressional Roundup, Breaking Defense’s Valerie Insinna explores how the Democrats’ sweeping midterm victories could reshape defense spending priorities in Washington.

Insinna also looks ahead to the lame-duck session, where lawmakers face major decisions on defense funding and a potential reconciliation package. And renewed efforts to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth could force House Republicans into a politically difficult vote.
