Pelosi and other Democratic leaders have been trying to tamp down impeachment talk for months, arguing that voters are growing weary of Trump investigations
and that most Senate Republicans wouldn’t vote to remove the president from office. Impeachment proceedings also would overshadow Democrats’ legislative agenda on gun control, violence against women and health care that they want to use to shape the 2020 campaign debate.
On Monday, Pelosi is scheduled to hold a private conference call with Democratic House members, in which the topic of impeachment could be raised. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer flatly declared on Thursday that impeachment as “not worthwhile at this point.” He took a different tack on Friday, suggesting that congressional committees have a lot of work to do so that Congress and the American people “have the opportunity to see, analyze and decide the implications of the complete and unredacted report” from Mueller.
Even before Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib and Omar took office, eight-term Representative Al Green of Texas was trying to force impeachment votes. Reacting to the Mueller report, Green said he would try it again, regardless of what party leaders say.
