The partisan-driven impeachment inquiry has also yielded some outcomes which Democrats may not have expected. Since last month, support for President Trump’s impeachment has declined. 49% of Independents are now against impeachment, while overall support amongst registered voters is at 43% with 45% against it.
The Senate
Another important factor in this impeachment inquiry is the Senate. Many Americans have noted that while the House may be able to get the votes for impeachment, the Senate will no doubt acquit Trump.
In the wake of these claims, Pelosi and other Democrats maintain that Senate Republicans ought to place “country over party” regarding impeachment. However, GOP Senate members and other conservatives view the impeachment inquiry as the epitome of a “party over country” attitude.
Prior to launching the inquiry, Pelosi acknowledged the inherently divisive nature of impeachment.
Where is Pelosi in All This?
At this time, the House Speaker hasn’t publicly indicated any plans to halt the impeachment proceedings. She has, however, taken various shots at the president. In an interview earlier this month, Pelosi stated that Trump is an “imposter” and “in over his head” in the White House.
