Next week, the House of Representatives is set to hold a final vote on the articles of impeachment against President Trump.

A Recap on Articles of Impeachment Against President Trump

Earlier this week, the House issued and approved two impeachment articles against the president; the articles state that Trump obstructed justice and abused his power. All in all, the House is accusing the president of high crimes and misdemeanors, an offense which is impeachable according to the Constitution.

Over the course of this week, House Republicans and House Democrats have sparred with one another over the validity of impeachment. The former overwhelmingly remains opposed to impeaching Trump while the majority of the latter is all for it.

However, one exception to this just might be House Democrat and 2020 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard. On Monday, Gabbard explained that she hasn't yet determined whether or not she'll vote for or against impeachment.

Why Tulsi Remains "Undecided" on How She'll Vote

Earlier in the week, the 2020 Democrat expressed her concerns about the motivations behind the present crusade to impeach President Trump. This isn't the first time that Gabbard shed light on this matter; she also mentioned the timing of Democrats' impeachment talks during debates with her in-party rivals.

On Monday, Gabbard reiterated the points which cover whether or not she'll vote for impeachment next week.

In the 2020 Democrat's own words:

"I have had concerns for a long time about impeachment being pursued for partisan reasons. Pursuing impeachment for partisan reasons is something that will only further divide an already divided country; it actually undermines our democracy."

If the House gets the necessary votes, then the Senate will conduct a trial. However, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has already stated that "no chance" of Trump's removal from the White House exists. Moreover, McConnell maintains that the Senate shall move in accordance with the White House.

It's also important to remember that the Senate remains under strong Republican control. As of now, the president retains a 90%+ approval rating with the Republican Party. As time passes, Democrats are amping up criticism against the GOP as the latter confirms their opposition to impeachment.

President Trump himself appears confident that he will face acquittal and exoneration from the Senate.
