Trump says ‘a few’ cabinet changes are in store after GOP midterm blowout
The Hill ^ | by Suryatapa Chakraborty - 11/07/26 6:51 PM ET

President Trump said he will be making a “few changes” to his cabinet following the midterm elections where his party suffered major losses at the hands of the Democrats who took control of the House and the Senate.

“I love my Cabinet. I think they’re good. But I’ll … be doing maybe a few changes. I don’t wanna mention who,” Trump said in an interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes. The outlet shared a preview of the president’s interview with Ross Douthat which is expected to air on Sunday at 7 p.m.

Trump replied “I do” when Douthat pressed the president on whether he is expecting to fire anyone following the midterm defeat.

The president’s remarks come as Democrats and even some Republicans have called for the impeachment of top Trump administration officials, including Attorney General Todd Blanche and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Deep down, I think all of us expected this.

Hegseth is likely to be impeached by the Democrats, with Republican help. Todd Blanche is going to get an investigative colonoscopy by both the House and the Senate, and may face articles of impeachment himself.

Miller loves bombast, but he’s a man with a target on his back and not many friends.

They’ll leave Trump alone, just so they can let him twist slowly in the wind and rub it into us.

What will happen if the House impeached Hegseth?

What will happen if the House impeached Hegseth? Then the articles of impeachment go to the Senate. The House appoints House managers who act as prosecutors before the Senate. The Senate conducts a trial with witnesses etc. If 2/3 vote to convict, then Hegseth is removed from his position and he can go back to Fox News.

Pardons do not protect against impeachments. Pardons only protect against federal prosecutions.

And, of course, Miller cannot be impeached, as the Chief-of-Staff is an administrative staff position and not a not a statutory office of the United States with independent legal authority.

“ Who among them has not done a good job?!?”

It’s a 60 minutes interview.

People take it seriously?

“Miller loves bombast, but he’s a man with a target on his back and not many friends.”

Bombast? Because he is logical and can stick to a point and not be bullied by Jim Acosta?

How do you know he has no friends?

Just wow

Should that come to pass, I doubt that Fox wants him back.

Miller is well thought of in Conservative circles and is respected by those in politics. He is brusque but it does not translate into having no friends.
