.MaddowBlog: House support for Pres. Trump’s impeachment reaches a key threshold.
In the immediate aftermath of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s congressional testimony, a small army of pundits agreed on one thing: the prospects of impeaching Donald Trump had effectively disappeared. To the extent that the president was worried about the threat, he could take comfort in the apparent fact that the air had escaped the impeachment balloon.
More than half of House Democrats say they would vote to launch impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, a crucial threshold that backers say will require Speaker Nancy Pelosi to reconsider her steadfast opposition. […] A note of caution about the arithmetic: there are competing head counts. Politico points to 118 House Dems who’ve publicly endorsed impeachment proceedings, but NBC News, among others, has a list that puts the tally at 116 .
That group is no longer small, and the pressure on Pelosi to reevaluate her plans has reached a new level.
