Al Green in Trump impeachment


On Principles & Values: Introduced motion to impeach Trump

A tidal wave of liberal disdain for President Donald Trump may help deliver the House to Democrats in 2018. How the party handles the explosive question of impeachment could determine whether its new majority is still standing two years later.

The debate is roiling House Democrats, with progressives forcing a debate over the issue even as vulnerable incumbents, particularly members in districts that favored Trump, worry it could jeopardize their future in Congress.

Earlier this month, 58 House Democrats led by Rep. Al Green (D-Texas)--nearly a third of their caucus--voted to begin debate on articles of impeachment against Trump, despite calls by Democratic leadership to spike the measure. And now those on the other side of the debate are already fretting about how far their colleagues and the Democratic base will try to take the issue ahead of the midterms.
