House Democrat Shri Thanedar (D., Mich.) walked out of the Speaker’s lobby on Thursday feeling slightly dejected. The day before, House Democrats had pressured him not to force a vote on his seven-article impeachment resolution against Donald Trump.
As Thanedar tells it, many of his colleagues expressed to him privately that attempting to impeach the president while in the minority would distract from the party’s current messaging strategy – namely, efforts to impugn congressional Republicans for planning to cut entitlements in this year’s reconciliation bill.
