Impeach the president? House Democrats saying not so fast
WASHINGTON — Whatever happened to trying to impeach President Donald Trump?As House Democrats begin laying out the vision for their new majority, that item is noticeably missing from the to-do list and firmly on the margins.The agenda for now includes spending on public works projects, lowering health care costs and increasing oversight of the administration.It's the balance that Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi is trying to strike in the new Congress between those on her party's left flank who are eager to confront the president, and her instinct to prioritize the kitchen-table promises that Democrats made to voters who elected them to office."We shouldn't impeach the president for political reasons and we shouldn't not impeach the president for political reasons," Pelosi recently told The Associated Press.The California lawmaker, who hopes to lead Democrats as House speaker come January, calls impeachment a "divisive activity" that needs to be approached with bipartisanship. "If the case is there, then that should be self-evident to Democrats and Republicans," she said.Those pressing for impeachment acknowledge they don't expect action on Day One of the new majority, but they do want to see Democrats start laying the groundwork for proceedings."We're for impeachment.
