"Democrats Call for Austin's Resignation Amid Cancer Treatment Controversy"

Rep. Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania has become the first Democrat in Congress to call for Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's resignation, citing a lack of transparency regarding his undisclosed cancer diagnosis and hospitalization. This move comes amid growing criticism from both Democrats and Republicans over the handling of Austin's medical treatment and delays in notifying key officials. While some Republicans, including Rep. Elise Stefanik, have also called for Austin's resignation, the White House has expressed complete confidence in the secretary, and the Pentagon has stated that there are no plans for him to step down.
