In recent days, several swing-district Democrats have come out in favor of impeaching Trump on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of justice in the historic vote expected Wednesday

On Friday, freshmen Texas representatives Lizzie Fletcher and Colin Allred came out in favor of the vote, though Rio Grande Valley moderate Henry Cuellar is still on the fence. By Sunday, Utah’s only Democrat Ben McAdams, Colorado representative Jason Crow, and New Mexico Representative Xochitl Torres Small announced they were onboard.
Of the vulnerable Dems now supporting impeachment, Slotkin, whose district favored Trump by six points in 2016, initially faced the most dissent: Though a crowd at a Monday town hall mostly supported her decision, her speech was peppered with booing from presidential supporters. The 31 swing-district Democrats will certainly expect more focused pushback: Conservative groups have identified them as the “Dirty 30” seats for Republicans to take back in the next election.
As the necessary votes come in for impeachment to pass in the House, President Trump has attempted to push the narrative that the constitutional process is extremely unpopular nationwide: But a Fox News poll released on Sunday suggests otherwise, with a slim majority of 50 percent of Americans in favor of Trump’s impeachment, while an additional 4 percent preferring that he face impeachment, but not removal from office. And yet, his approval numbers remain stable: A Quinnipiac poll released Monday had the president’s approval rating at 43 percent, the highest the Connecticut pollster had clocked Trump’s support to date.
