Democratic groups are preparing to spend millions on impeachment-focused messaging to ratchet up the pressure on Republican senators facing tough reelection bids in 2020
The campaigns aim to push vulnerable Republicans into backing an impeachment trial that would include witnesses in the coming weeks, as well as pressuring senators to vote to remove President Donald Trump from office. Some of the persuasion is also targeting moderate Democrats who party officials worry could side with Republicans on impeaching the president. The Daily Beast reported on some of the campaigns' efforts last month.
The ads also target three moderate Democrats -- Sen. Doug Jones of Alabama, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona -- who appear to be the most likely Democrats who could side with Republicans on impeachment."The Senate fight started the moment Donald Trump was impeached" in the House, Eldridge said.
