Gabbard’s statements on impeaching President Trump read as follows:
“I don’t support impeachment. You know, I think it’s important for us to think about what is in the best interest of the country and the American people. Continuing to pursue impeachment is something that I think will only further to tear our country apart.”

“Make no bones about it: We need to defeat Donald Trump, but I think it’s important for our country’s sake and our future that the voters in this country are the ones who do that. I believe that we will.”
How Realistic is Impeachment?
The majority of Democrats disagree with Gabbard’s take on impeachment. As a matter of fact, many 2020 Democrats have openly declared their support for impeachment; although, it’s unclear how pro-impeachment leftists would feel about Mike Pence becoming the next president. This is precisely what would follow if impeachment somehow yielded success.
Critics of impeachment have noted that President Trump has yet to commit impeachable offenses. Furthermore, the Senate, which maintains a Republican majority, has made very clear that they won’t support any legislation to impeach the president.
