NEW: Two Democrats buck Pelosi and vote against resolution formalizing Trump impeachment inquiry
Reps. Collin Peterson of Minnesota’s 7th Congressional District and Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey’s 2nd were the only two Democrats to vote against Thursday’s resolution that formalizes the next steps in the impeachment inquiry of President Trump. Not a single Republican voted to pass the measure, although Rep. Justin Amash, a member of the GOP until he reclassified as an independent in July, voted yes. The resolution passed by a vote of 232-196.
"If anyone thinks a partisan impeachment process would constrain President Trump, they are fooling themselves," Peterson said in a statement last month."Without significant bipartisan support, impeachment proceedings will be a lengthy and divisive action with no resolution." Van Drew is a freshman, a former New Jersey state senator who was elected to represent the southern part of the Garden State last year. Trump won the 2nd District by five points in 2016, one point below his margin of victory in the 3rd District of Rep. Andy Kim, who voted yes on the resolution.
