COMMERCE TOWNSHIP, Michigan/LOS ANGELES - Speaking before a rowdy and divided crowd of about 200 at an indoor shooting range Tuesday evening, first-term House Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens from Michigan faced angry Republican voters who lashed out at her party’s push for gun control - as well as its treatment of President Donald Trump.
Congressional Democrats such as Stevens fanned out to their home districts this week for a two-week recess to explain their decision to pursue the impeachment probe. Talking to Reuters after the town hall, Stevens said she found the prospect of impeachment “alarming” and “heartbreaking.”Trump won Michigan in 2016 by just 10,704 votes, and his campaign believes he must carry the state again next year in the presidential election to secure a second term.
“I don’t think they can help but pursue it - I don’t think it’s an option,” said Rick Goldberg, 66, a Democrat and retired assistant deputy warden at a correctional facility, who lives in Livonia, Michigan. “But the Senate’s not going to do anything with it.” In last year’s midterm elections, they re-took the House largely by appealing to suburban moderate voters on issues such as health care and not focusing on Trump’s conduct.
She opened her remarks by explaining why she backed impeachment, telling the audience that her mom is a Democrat and her dad is a Republican.
