Impeachment fever will test Pelosi's grip as Congress returns this week by jonward11
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will face a significant challenge this week: keeping Democrats united as they return to Washington following a Memorial Day recess in which the push for impeaching President Trump gained new momentum.
Pelosi had kept her caucus behind her heading into Memorial Day weekend, before special counsel Robert Mueller gave a televised public statement last Wednesday. That statement fanned the flames among Democrats who want to begin impeachment proceedings in the House now. Pelosi’s concern is that an impeachment proceeding in the House would “allow Trump to play it off as a reality show event,” Kane said.
And so, at the moment, Kane said, Pelosi’s challenge is that the country is not persuaded that impeachment is needed and there are doubts about whether there’s enough of a case for Democrats to make. “These Democrats on Judiciary, they're smart people, but they've never had to do this before. [Committee Chairman] Jerry Nadler never was the full chairman of a committee before in his life,” Kane said.
