Democrats across Capitol Hill are comfortable—and confident—the House speaker's political strategy is the correct one.
Moderates and liberals alike, Democrats are backing the extraordinary move by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to delay the delivery of the impeachment articles to the Senate, giving rise to an unprecedented stalemate as Washington's top lawmakers attempt to negotiate the terms of an impeachment trial.and half a dozen other media outlets Thursday inside his Washington, D.C. office after meeting with the California Democrat.
But make no mistake about it, Pelosi and Schumer aren't the only Democrats in lockstep with one another over the delay tactic that's been suddenly deployed. Democrats across Capitol Hill are comfortable—and confident—Pelosi's political strategy will prevail by securing concessions from McConnell. "My background and experience says that [the trial] is another somber experience that has to be done correctly," Rep. Tom O'Halleran , one of the last of the vulnerable members to support impeachment, told."My constituents see the breadth of my word and hopefully come to trust me and respect my decisions."
"I admit, I'm not sure what 'leverage' there is in refraining from sending us something we do not want," McConnell said on the floor.As a result, Democrats are placing their bets on McConnell folding his cards first, succumbing to the president's pressure and agreeing to terms that Democrats deem"fair" enough to allow the commencement of a trial.
