Analysis: Can Nancy Pelosi hold off impeachment much longer?
By Amber Phillips Amber Phillips Reporter for The Fix covering Congress, statehouses Email Bio Follow May 9 at 9:06 AM Can House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hold the line much longer against impeachment? By her own telling this week, President Trump is doing more and more to deserve it.
It’s hard to know exactly what Pelosi meant by calling the president “self-impeachable.” Trump is making the case to impeach himself, she seems to be saying. But what is Congress supposed to do about it? Or does Pelosi think that Trump is forcing the Democrats’ hand on the subject? She said Tuesday that he is “just trying to goad us into impeachment.”
Pelosi knows that no matter their intentions, Trump will weaponize it for his political gain. And he has a potentially sympathetic public. Polls show a majority of Americans don’t support it, even if most think Trump lied.
