House Democrats confident they'll they have the votes to pass resolution on impeachment process tomorrow without any Republican support.
House Democrats on Wednesday were moving ahead with their plan for a vote on a resolution laying out the process and procedures for open hearings for the impeachment inquiry, expressing confidence that they have the votes to pass the measure on Thursday without any Republican support.
“This resolution provides a clear path forward as the House prepares to begin the public-facing phase of its impeachment inquiry into the conduct of President Donald Trump and requires serious consideration,” a senior Democratic leadership aide noted. “Sending a Whip Question is a part our process to ensure we have an accurate vote count; we’re confident that we’ll have the votes to pass the resolution.
They also argued that Democrats aren’t making the process transparent by denying Trump and his counsel access to investigative materials that the House Intelligence Committee gathers but does not report to the Judiciary Committee. Calling it a"bizarre process," McConnell said,"The resolution merely seems to contemplate that maybe, maybe someday in the future at some other phase of this due process might -- might finally kick in. But only if the House Judiciary Committee feels like holding hearings and calling its own witnesses. in other words, no due process now, maybe some later, but only if we feel like it.
Freshman Democratic Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, who represents a congressional district carried by President Trump in 2016, said he plans to vote against the measure.
