For weeks, the swing-district Democrats most responsible for the party’s House majority have fretted that progressive lightning rods like New York’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are distracting the party with proposals that will alienate independent voters.

On Wednesday evening, Representative Rashida Tlaib raised another subject that Pelosi would rather avoid: impeachment. Tlaib introduced a resolution “directing the House Judiciary Committee to begin investigating” whether the president “has committed any actions constituting impeachable offenses” since his inauguration.
After some initial legislative wins, Democrats spent the better part of a week debating how to respond to comments from Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar that were widely viewed as anti-Semitic. She, with Ocasio-Cortez, has become one of the favorite targets for conservative media outlets.
