Two more Democrats now support an impeachment inquiry, leaving just 12 who don't
Reps. Colin Allred , Conor Lamb and 2020 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard said that after recent revelations from a whistleblower complaint detailing Trump's call with the Ukrainian president, they now backed the inquiry.
Lamb, also a moderate freshman, gave similar reasons while speaking to CNN's Chris Cuomo Thursday night, saying the whistleblower allegations were"going to ramp up the urgency behind these investigations." Gabbard was previously against impeachment proceedings for fear it would"further divide our already badly divided country." However, with more information coming to light about the whistleblower complaint and Trump's remarks about the matter, she said her stance has changed.
