Bipartisan Opposition: Multiple House Democrats Signal They’ll Vote Against Impeachment

While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced Thursday that the Democrats are officially moving forward on drafting articles of impeachment against Donald Trump, three among the Democratic ranks have signaled that they’ll vote against it, while the only Republican that Democrats hoped would allow them to label the effort “bipartisan” has signaled he will likewise reject the effort. In other words, the Democrats appear poised to ram through an entirely partisan and increasingly unpopular impeachment against bipartisan opposition.

“After weeks of hearings, hyperbole, and histrionics over Ukraine-Gate, have House Democrats advanced the case for impeachment?” asked Ed Morrissey. in a piece for Hot Air published Thursday night. “Not only have they not moved the polling, they may have lost ground — in their own caucus. CNN’s Manu Raju caught up with the two House Democrats who voted against authorizing the inquiry to find out whether they support Nancy Pelosi’s call to advance articles of impeachment. Not only do they remain unconvinced, a third Democrat has begun throat-clearing on potential opposition.”
