Rep. Don Beyer (D) says Democratic 2020 hopeful Pete Buttigieg has rare ability to communicate

By Laura Vozzella Laura Vozzella Local reporter covering Virginia politics Email Bio Follow April 24 at 4:03 PM Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg won his first endorsement from a member of Congress on Wednesday, as Rep. Don Beyer announced that he was backing the young Indiana politician known as “Mayor Pete.”

Beyer initially did not know what to make of the millennial mayor of South Bend, Ind., who formally announced his White House bid this month. WASHINGTON, DC -- Rep. Don Beyer represents Virginia's 8th District. Beyer endorsed Obama in early 2007 and volunteered on his campaign, knocking on doors for weeks in Iowa ahead of the state caucuses. Beyer, who is serving his third term in Congress, representing a deep-blue Northern Virginia district, plans to do similar work for Buttigieg.

Rep. Spanberger: 'We need more answers' before impeachment proceedingsRep. Abigal Spanberger (D-VA), a former CIA case officer, tells Kasie Hunt she’s not yet ready to call for the impeachment of President Trump, but points out that if she had taken information from Russia during her time at the CIA and didn’t immediately report it to law enforcement, 'that would have been a fireable offense.' RepSpanberger - Congress must quickly investigate, then impeach IMMEDIATELY! Several legal experts say there's already PLENTY to go on so make it snappy before tRUmp/GOP/FOX cement the no collusion story. There's only one factor slowing impeachment hearings, Republican Ostriches' hold the majority in the Senate. If Dems were the majority they would seek justice now.

Ryan also says he's 'not there yet' when it comes to impeachment. VoteThemOut is the best resolution to this crisis Resistance VoteThemOut VotingMatters voteblue Well Rep. Ryan what would you need to see? Bc the report is damning. i cannot imagine another single politician or President or American citizen getting away with 20 percent of that. In fact, people are going to jail over some of it. Trump gets another weekend at his resort? NO! Baby steps. But not 'just-learned-to-walk' baby steps. Sure-footed, purposeful baby steps.

Rep. Katie Hill has Nancy Pelosi’s favor, but will that do her any favors?Colleagues say Speaker Nancy Pelosi sees California Rep. Katie Hill as a younger version of herself. That's bringing opportunity for the freshman to rise in Democratic leadership, but also risks. Pelosi’s support for Hill perhaps stems from that fact that Hill is a younger version of the speaker and is being groomed for bigger things in the party.
