As coronavirus continues to spread throughout the U.S., Democrats in Congress have lost focus on impeaching President Donald Trump for the first time since 2016.
The Daily Caller contacted the offices of several dozen Democratic members of Congress, who were very vocal on impeaching Trump, and only heard back from three Democrats. All who either say Trump has already been impeached or that they will wait until the November election to have voters decide.
“The Constitutional remedy of impeachment is only for the most serious misconduct that threaten the very democracy, a ‘high crime or misdemeanor.’ President Trump’s gross misconduct met that high standard, as described to the Senate during the trial. Senators did not vote to convict and remove President Trump from office. Now Americans will now have their say in November,†Democratic California Rep. Zoe Lofgren told the Daily Caller. Lofgren also served as an impeachment manager for Democrats in the Senate trial.
Other members of Congress believe that since the House voted to impeach Trump he is therefore impeached, meaning no further action needs to be taken.
