Wary of polls showing battleground state voters are frowning on the impeachment effort in Congress, House Democrats plan a legislative blitz this week they’ll be able to tout when they return home for the holidays.
The House will take a historic vote next week to impeach President Trump, only the third such vote in history.
But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has also packed the schedule with critical legislation that will allow Democratic lawmakers to show constituents the party is working on their “For the People Agenda†and not just impeaching Trump.
The House will vote on legislation to fund the government for the fiscal year, which will dodge a government shutdown, and lawmakers will also likely vote on a long-awaited, major trade deal between the United States, Mexico, and Canada that proponents say will boost the U.S. economy and create thousands of jobs.
