They’re putting up a confident front, but behind the scenes, the president’s allies and aides worry impeachment proceedings will destroy his ego and derail his agenda
Wednesday, allies and aides privately fear that it will derail his agenda, weaken his position, and completely dominate his attention as he heads into a tough reelection battle in 2020.
Both current and former administration aides told the outlet that impeachment proceedings are likely to monopolize Trump’s focus, sinking anything he’d hoped to accomplish in the fall. “It would mean USMCA probably doesn’t get done,” a former official told. “It would declare war on whatever legislative agenda they still have.
He has good reason to be worried. Trump has admitted to attempting to get the Ukranian government to probe Biden, one of his top 2020 rivals, over the conspiracy theory that the VP leaned on Kiev to fire a prosecutor who had been investigating a company with ties to. He has also told reporters that he opted to withhold aid from Ukraine, though he claims that those two facts are unrelated.
