The majority of the House Democratic caucus now supports an impeachment inquiry against President Trump, with Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) becoming the 118th Democrat in the chamber to support moving to such proceedings.
“[President Trump] seems to think that Mueller’s performance wasn’t enough to trigger an impeachment inquiry,” the congressman wrote in an op-ed in the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Sorry, Mr. President, the question is no longer whether the House should vote to proceed with a formal impeachment inquiry. The inquiry has already begun.”
Eliot Engel, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, endorsed impeachment a few days ago, a notable addition to the ranks given his leadership within the caucus. Emanuel Cleaver, a senior caucus whip and an influential black Democrat, also now backs it. Are House Dems about to twist Pelosi’s arm and force her to go nuclear?
