Will Trump, Hegseth be impeached if Dems win majority?
Why does President Donald Trump fixate on the physical appearances of Sen. Jon Husted, R-Ohio, and others when speaking at rallies? "I think this is about playing to the crowd. I think he sees that it gets attention," The New York Times' Zolan Kanno-Youngs tells Washington Week moderator Jeffrey Goldberg. But it also says something about "how much the president watches TV" and assesses people based on their looks, Kanno-Youngs added.

After midterms, will Trump or Hegseth be impeached?
If Democrats earn a majority in the House and Senate in the midterm elections, there will be "a lot of pressure on Hakeem Jeffries to open an impeachment investigation" into President Donald Trump, Puck's Leigh Ann Caldwell says. Caldwell also told Washington Week moderator Jeffrey Goldberg that there is "widespread belief on Capitol Hill" that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will be impeached by the Republican-majority House when Congress resumes in November. "The bigger question is what happens in the Senate." Washington Week with The Atlantic is a partnership between @PBSNewsHour, @WETAPBS and @TheAtlantic airing every Friday on PBS stations nationwide.

Why this Senate race is now a 'toss-up'
Carrie Dann talks about why her organization, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, has rated Kansas' U.S. Senate race as a toss-up. "Almost every cycle, there is an incumbent senator who kind of gets caught napping a little bit and wakes up to the reality that, 'Oh, I actually have a competitive race,'" she told Washington Week moderator Jeffrey Goldberg. Republican incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall is defending his seat against Democratic nominee Adam Hamilton, who leads the nation’s largest United Methodist congregation.
