The group will runin nine districts held by the most vulnerable members, slamming them for voting for “a politically motivated charade.”

“Everyone that voted for Trump and then voted for Lamb in 2018 is angry right now,” Parnell said. “Those people are motivated in a way I’ve never seen before.” In statements and interviews announcing their decision to impeach, swing-district Democrats said they were forced to act by Trump’s blatant attempt to solicit help from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to boost his own reelection campaign.

Democrats from GOP states lost reelection after voting for tax increases in 1993 and Affordable Care Act in 2010. Can Democrats in GOP states keep their seats after voting for impeachment?

They exhibited courage and a grateful nation salutes them.

Honesty and doing the right thing are what qualify us as humans.

Thank God for members of Congress who possess both the patriotism and the courage to put our country's future before their own political ambitions.

Kudos to House Democrats keeping their oaths. I would vote for any of these people. They should get more votes, not less. They, unlike Republicans, are doing their jobs.

Many if these freshman were elected precisely for oversight. Media is talking about the possibility of them losing their seats & no one is discussing that they are fulfilling their duty, as decided by the people.

Thank you Conner Lamb!

It's bizarre how the media framing has been confronting a criminal president is dangerous for the Dems and has no consequence for Republicans

House Democrats Unify on Eve of Impeachment VoteNearly all House Democrats representing 'Trump districts' have come out in support of impeachment ahead of Wednesday's vote. As they should. This is about the rule of law not about whether or not I can get re-elected based on how I vote on impeachment. Trump violated his oath of office, he should be impeached accordingly and removed from office. Let's see how many Senators are true to their oath. Impeachment was unnecessary and this is one more reason why. But the 'Values People' got their way, and a price will be paid. It will not remove Trump from office, but will solidify the Great Divide and give Trump another campaign weapon. Dumb.
