The House Judiciary Committee is now expected to vote Friday, likely on party lines, to send two articles of impeachment against President Trump to the House floor for consideration next week.
The committee had been expected to approve the charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress late Thursday, after a 14-hour debate. Instead, Republicans erupted when Chairman Jerry Nadler announced that the vote wouldn't happen until 10 a.m. ET Friday. And Democrats were angry at Republicans, believing they had attempted to drag out the proceedings and delay the final votes to the wee hours.
— Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon December 12, 2019 Two Democrats now oppose impeachmentAt lest two Democratic congressmen -- Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey and Collin Peterson of Minnesota -- have said they will vote against the articles of impeachment. That means Democrats won't be unanimously in favor of impeaching Trump. But it does not yet suggest Trump will be anything but impeached next week.
