Rep. John Katko (N.Y.) became the first Republican lawmaker to say publicly that he will vote to impeach President Trump over his role in inciting a violent mob to storm the Capitol last week.
Katko said in a statement to Syracuse.com that he intends to join with Democrats Wednesday when they vote to impeach Trump on a single article of “willfully inciting violence against the Government of the United States.â€
Republicans have been gauging support for the article amid speculation that a number of moderate GOP lawmakers could vote against Trump, though none other than Katko have thus far said they'd vote for impeachment.
