New York Times: “After they won the House in the 2018 midterms, Democrats spent months squabbling among themselves over whether or not to impeach Trump over the various dramas that had consumed Washington. They did it once in 2019, for threatening a pre-invasion Volodymyr Zelensky in a phone call, and again after Jan. 6, 2021.”
“It’s not clear that those impeachments, which both ended with Senate acquittals, conferred a political benefit for Democrats.”
“That might be why we’re not yet hearing the same colorful exhortations to impeach Trump that we did during the first term — it would just be so 2019.”
“What we are hearing is an attempt to carry the central plank of Democrats’ midterm campaign — the accusation that a corrupt administration has raised costs for regular Americans — into the halls of Congress. Democrats are promising to start investigations and pass anti-corruption bills that would ban congressional stock trading.”
