WASHINGTON - A majority of Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives now favor launching impeachment proceedings against Republican President Donald Trump, after a California lawmaker on Friday became the 118th Democrat to call for the process to begin.
But the total of 118 is still far short of the 218 House votes needed to approve an impeachment resolution, and opinion polls continue to show voters sharply divided over the issue. The House is currently on a summer recess and will not return until Sept. 9. “Democrats in the Congress continue to legislate, investigate and litigate,” Pelosi declared. “The president will be held accountable.”
In his report, Mueller described in detail the extensive contact Trump’s team had with Russia during the 2016 election campaign, and how Trump tried to impede Mueller’s investigation. Despite the mounting impeachment calls, there are no outward signs of a revolt among Democratic lawmakers over Pelosi’s attitude, perhaps in part because she has said that lawmakers are free to “espouse their own position, and to criticize me.”
