Last week’s release of the Mueller report has continued to leave 2020 Democrats split on the key question of whether President Donald Trump should be impeached. At the same time, House Democratic leadership is grappling with increasing calls for the party to begin the process, reiterating their belief that the ongoing congressional probes must play out before such divisive action is taken.
The Massachusetts progressive took the lead on the impeachment debate Friday evening, saying on Twitter that due to Trump’s attempts to foil Mueller’s investigation and his campaign’s acceptance that Russia tried to interfere in the 2016 elections in a “sweeping and systematic fashion,” as the report states, the “House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the President of the United States.
Harris, California’s former attorney general, said Congress “should take the steps toward impeachment” because of the evidence surrounding obstruction of justice. While Mueller did not make a determination on obstruction and appeared to pass the matter on to Congress, Attorney General William Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein determined that Trump should not face charges.
“If for the next year and a half going into the election, all that the Congress is talking about is impeaching Trump, and Trump, Trump, Trump and Mueller, Mueller, Mueller and we’re not talking about health care, raising the minimum wage to a living wage, combating climate change, sexism, racism, homophobia, and all of the issues that concern ordinary Americans, what I worry about is that works to Trump’s advantage,” Sanders argued.
Speaking to reporters last week in Nashua, New Hampshire, Beto O'Rourke, the former congressman and presidential candidate, also showed reluctance toward impeachment.

Nancy Pelosi warns against impeaching Trump as some 2020 Democratic candidates call for president to goDuring a conference call with Democratic colleagues on Monday, Pelosi urged her colleagues to refrain from impeachment proceedings. Meanwhile, Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris each said they back removing Trump from office. They want it on the record they voted for impeachment to get elected again. Pandering to their voters? Impeach trump now As if Pelosi's warnings are the only thing keeping the democrats from impeaching Trump... Not the absence of (provable) high crimes and misdemeanors. Not the lack of votes in the senate. Just Pelosi, holding them back. LOL
