Most Democrats are publicly and privately annoyed at Rep. Shri Thanedar forcing a vote on President Donald Trump’s impeachment Wednesday. Some of them will end up voting for it anyway.
Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, told caucus-affiliated members in a note obtained by POLITICO he planned to vote against the House GOP’s likely motion to sink the measure — but stressed that members should vote their district.
“This doomed impeachment vote is not about holding Trump accountable, but instead seems to be about the interest of the bill sponsor. At the same time, Donald Trump has committed serious crimes,” Casar wrote Wednesday afternoon.
A “yes” vote to table the measure, he said, would highlight that it’s “unserious,” but a “no” vote would highlight that Trump “brazenly violated his oath of office and repeatedly breaks the law,” he said.
House Democratic leaders plan to vote to table the impeachment motion, said Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.), though it is not being formally whipped.
