Five House members to watch as the House expects to vote on a resolution Thursday setting up the ground rules for an impeachment inquiry.
WASHINGTON – The vote Thursday on a House resolution laying out the next phase of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump seems like a foregone conclusion.
The inquiry centers on the administration's efforts to pressure Ukraine into investigating 2020 political rival Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, in exchange for foreign military aid approved earlier by Congress. The Rising Story continuesPelosi launched the inquiry but New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, 49, who chairs the Democratic Caucus, is responsible for making sure it passes the House.
The Reluctant DemocratFor nearly three decades, Democrat Collin Petersen has represented his sprawling, rural Minnesota district that stretches from Iowa to Canada with the same conservative, agrarian-minded perspective of his constituents. The Trump DefenderFew Republicans in Congress have stuck up for the president as fiercely as Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, a former collegiate wrestling champion who co-founded the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus.
The Troubled RepublicanFlorida Rep. Francis Rooney brandishes a squarely establishment Republican resume: a business background that includes construction, real estate development, finance and electronics manufacturing; a deep-pocketed donor to GOP candidates and causes; and former ambassador to the Vatican nominated by President George W. Bush.
