Dem Bails On House Vote On Impeachment After Backlash From Colleagues

Democrat Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar bailed on his threat to force a vote in the House on impeaching President Donald Trump.

The shocking reason for his decision was the pressure he was getting against doing it from his fellow Democrats, Politico reported.

“After talking with many colleagues, I have decided not to force a vote on impeachment today,” he said in a text message. “Instead, I will add to my articles of impeachment and continue to rally the support of both Democrats and Republicans to defend the Constitution with me.”
Democrats were furious with the representative for placing a spotlight on an impeachment that would be doomed to go nowhere in the Republican-led House, as they want attention to be on cuts, they say, Republicans want to make to Medicaid in the “big, beautiful bill” that President Trump has asked for.

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Greg Casar of Texas, Brad Schneider of Illinois, and Jamie Raskin of Maryland were seen talking to him hours before he decided not to go ahead with what they believe is a sideshow.

The bill Republicans are looking to pass involves giving Americans massive tax cuts, but it is not only Democrats who may stand in the way of it becoming law.
