Mike Johnson put the House of Representatives into a recess after just coming back from a long recess 2.5 days before. Why? Because Massie from Kentucky introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth. And there were rumors from a few republicans that they would vote yes. Mike Johnson found out that it might very well pass. If it did, the Senate would have to try him. And while he might not get removed, you would still have a trial underway as the election arrives. So Johnson ran.
