Reps. Ben McAdams and Joe Cunningham, two of the most endangered House Democrats, said Monday they will vote to impeach President Trump in a boon for party leaders just days ahead of the vote
Trump won McAdams' district by 7 points in 2016, though Republicans typically hold an even bigger advantage on the ballot. McAdams won by roughly 700 votes over former Rep. Mia Love in 2018.“I’ve waited and waited and I have not found any evidence they submitted compelling at all,” Cunningham told the South Carolina newspaper. “At the end of day, this is simply about the rule of law, whether we’re a country with laws or not and what type of precedent we want to set for future presidents.
Roughly half of those members have already declared they will support impeachment, including Reps. Elissa Slotkin ,“The President’s actions violate his oath of office, endanger our national security, and betray the public trust," Spanberger said in a statement. "Because of the oath I swore to support and defend the Constitution, I will be voting in favor of both articles of impeachment.
Rep. Collin Peterson of Minnesota and Jeff Van Drew are the only Democrats who voted against launching the impeachment inquiry, and Van Drew is switching to the GOP later this week. Hemmert, the Utah Senate majority whip, had been the only candidate in the half-dozen person GOP primary field to be named to the NRCC's "Young Guns" program.
