If House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry turns into an attempt to remove the president, Sens. Cory Gardner and Martha McSally will be two of the most closely watched votes
Martha McSally and Cory Gardner both face tough reelection races in 2020 in battleground states. But the two Republican senators are taking completely different approaches to the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
Shortly after Republicans were in harmony, saying they need more information about the Trump call with the Ukrainian president and the whistleblower to say whether it’s troubling that Trump reportedly pressured President Volodymyr Zelensky to dig into Biden and his son, Hunter, in order to receive U.S. aid. Hunter Biden served on the board of a Ukrainian energy company.
That will change soon. On Wednesday, Trump will release his transcript of the call with the Ukrainian president. On Thursday, the House and Senate Intelligence committees will both hear from intelligence officials about the whistleblower case. “There will be a huge backlash. And this will be just seen as the next step after Hillary Clinton’s defeat and the Russian investigation,” said Sen. John Cornyn , another incumbent Republican. “I’m kind of scratching my head why all of a sudden the House’s hair is on fire.”
