US parties close ranks ahead of Trump impeachment

Democrats and Republicans closed ranks Tuesday a day ahead of the expected impeachment of US President Donald Trump, underscoring the country's deep political divide over charges that the US leader abused his power.

"The new USA Today Poll, just out, has me leading all of the Democrat contenders... The American people are smart. They see the great economy, & everything else!" he tweeted. "My military service taught me to put our country -- not politics -- first, and my time as a federal prosecutor taught me about the importance of the rule of law and of justice," declared Mikie Sherrill, a first-term representative from a Trump-leaning district in New Jersey.

The House Rules Committee was expected to finalize the impeachment articles on Tuesday, and then a debate and vote are expected to be scheduled for the House floor on Wednesday. "The House impeachment articles are a joke," Senator Josh Hawley told Fox News. "This whole thing is a joke and it's time to get the president exonerated."The leaders in the Senate meanwhile began battling over the process of the trial, and especially whether the chamber would call as witnesses four current or former Trump aides whom the White House blocked from testifying and providing documents to the House investigation.

And more Americans in new pollings are against this stupid act of partisan impeachment. Trump approval ratings went high and on his way for a landslide victory.
