New York Times: “Liberals who support opening impeachment proceedings against Mr. Trump had hoped that testimony by the former special counsel would finally electrify their efforts. The early verdict suggests that did not happen.”
“One Democrat, freshman Representative Lori Trahan of Massachusetts, joined the 90-odd other House members calling for the opening of an impeachment inquiry… Others could follow this week. But with a six-week August recess looming and the views of most Americans fixed on what is now a two-year-old story line, a lasting shift in public opinion appears unlikely.”
Washington Post: “If you’re House Speaker Nancy Pelosi it may not be all doom and gloom right now. Yes, the hearings were probably counterproductive when it comes to Democrats’ efforts to beat Trump in 2020, but they also would seem to help her campaign to hold off her fellow Democrats’ impeachment fervor.”
Politico: “Pro-impeachment Democrats were hoping for a blockbuster show on Wednesday. Instead they are left trying to regain momentum in their drive to oust President Trump from office.”
