To Impeach or Not to Impeach

Max Cohen: “I spent the past week speaking to House Democrats about whether they wanted to impeach President Donald Trump for a third time in the event they win the majority. I found that although there was universal distaste for the president in the Democratic Caucus, most members want to hold off on any impeachment conversations.”

“The logistical considerations here are what are holding up Democrats. The House impeached Trump twice — in 2019 and 2021 — and the Senate acquitted the president both times. The hurdle of winning 67 votes for conviction in the Senate is a bar that Democrats admit is likely too high.”

“But just because Democrats aren’t talking about impeachment doesn’t mean they feel Trump doesn’t deserve to be reprimanded.”
