Democrats grapple with 'rising clamor' for Trump impeachment ahead of midterms

[Dulcinea]

(GMA) From the campaign trail to Capitol Hill, a growing number of Democrats have said they believe President Donald Trump has committed impeachable offenses in his first year back in office.

But with their focus on the midterms, fewer elected Democrats are willing to commit to impeaching Trump if they win back control of the House, given likely Republican control of the Senate and potential for backlash from voters.

Instead, many Democrats said they are focusing on the cost of living and the state of the economy.

"There's a lot for me to be concerned about," said Rep. Eugene Vindman, a Democrat from Virginia.

1. While he certainly deserves it, beating the impeachment drum now is likely counterproductive before November. After...

....i think it depends where the Senate stands Dem v. Repug count. It isn't like shame or self respect has any real meaning to Trump, so unless there is a realistic chance of turning him out of office early I hope we put our energy where it will really make more than a symbolic difference as our focus then shifts to 2028 elections.
