GOP impeachment vote will be 'funeral of the modern Republican Party,' says former DNC head by alexnazaryan
WASHINGTON — On the House floor, impeachment is all but certain, with a sizable Democratic majority in the chamber assuring that both articles against President Trump — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — will be endorsed. Yet the starkly partisan nature of the vote has forced Democrats to explain why no Republicans are expected to vote in favor of impeachment.
Yet even as the GOP condemns impeachment publicly, Wasserman Schultz says there are “plenty of Republicans who speak behind their hand and whisper to us that they know what he did was wrong.”“They’re petrified of being defeated in a Republican primary,” Wasserman Schultz suggested. She thought that if the impeachment vote were held after the deadlines to file as a primary candidate, some Republicans could vote with Democrats. As it stood, no Republicans are expected to defect.
“We’ve all been vindicated,” Green told Yahoo News. “This is not about whether you like the president; it’s about whether you love your country,” he added. Speaking on Wednesday ahead of the vote, Slotkin reiterated that she was not pressured by Democratic leadership to vote for impeachment.
