Cunningham to Vote for Impeachment Rules

Rep. Joe Cunningham (D-SC) told the Charleston Post & Courier that he intends to vote in favor of a House resolution this week that will lay out the ground rules for the ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

“The vote, which is expected Thursday, is not over whether to impeach Trump — a question that Cunningham emphasized he remains firmly undecided on — but simply to clarify the process as it moves into an increasingly public phase.”

“Still, the decision by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to hold a process vote nevertheless placed the vulnerable freshman Democrat in a precarious political position, forcing him to take a side for the first time in a polarizing debate that he had generally avoided thus far.”
