A House vote to impeach President Trump could put a critical faction of moderate Democrats at risk in 2020.
Two weeks of public impeachment hearings have failed to ramp up support for ejecting Trump, polls show, and it has raised questions about the political risks of voting to impeach him.
“I’ll have to see,†Rep. Donna Shalala, who represents a Miami swing district, told the Washington Examiner. “Whether it will shift their minds one way or the other, I don’t know that.â€
Just two Democrats voted against the ongoing impeachment proceeding when the House took up the measure on Oct. 31. More could defect on a vote to send articles of impeachment to the Senate, however, now that polling shows a slight decline in support, particularly among key independent voters.
