DEMS/ELECTION/HOUSE OF REPS/IMPEACHMENT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Reps. Ben McAdams and Joe Cunningham, two of the most endangered House Democrats, said Monday [12-16-19] they will vote to impeach President Donald Trump, in a boon for party leaders just days ahead of the vote. Fifteen Democrats in districts won by Trump have now said publicly they will back articles of impeachment charging the president with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress’ Ukraine inquiry. McAdams of Utah and Cunningham of South Carolina had been among the few question marks for Democratic leaders ahead of the Wednesday floor vote; Both are centrists with an independent streak who have bucked the party on key votes on immigration and spending. McAdams was also among a small group of Democrats meeting privately to float the idea of censuring Trump in an attempt to attract bipartisan support for rebuking the president without impeaching him.”
