Kamala Harris on Monday called for the House to impeach President Trump, becoming the latest 2020 presidential contender to do so after the release of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Last week, Warren became the first Democratic White House candidate to call for the House to begin impeachment proceedings against Trump in light of Mueller’s findings. — CNN Politics April 23, 2019 Sanders, meanwhile, was among those calling for Democrats to steer clear of impeachment and instead keep their eye on “issues that concern ordinary Americans.”
In a conference call Monday night, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reaffirmed that approach, telling lawmakers, “It’s about saving our democracy.” A redacted version of Mueller’s report was released late last week. The report identified 10 instances of potential obstruction of justice by Trump. But Mueller did not find that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election.
She also dismissed the argument that impeachment would take the focus away from health care, the environment, the economy and other issues that Democrats have sought to highlight ahead of the 2020 election.
