There may be multiple investigations against him, but President Trump has one less Congressional mess to worry about: the House is tabling an attempt to impeach him. Abipartisan group of lawmakers has voted in favor of putting aside articles of impeachment introduced by Texas Congressman Al Green.
It should be noted that this isn’t the first time – Green's two previous efforts to impeach the President were also shot down by large bipartisan majorities. But this time with the increased ferocity on Capitol Hill at play? It still wasn’t even close – with a tally of 332-95…with one lawmaker marked as “present.” The result isn’t a shock either as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been clear that she’s against impeachment for now.
Not surprisingly, Mr. Trump is cheering the House vote. Hosting a rally in North Carolina,Trump calling it “ridiculous”– a notion he’s echoed online. But at the rally? The President couldn’t resist a back-handed credit to Dems. "That was a slaughter, but many of those people that voted for us this afternoon in somewhat of a sneak attack ... I want to thank them because they did the right thing for our country," Trump offered. "I want to thank those Democrats because many of them voted for us."
