The growing number of calls for impeachment from activist groups could put the Democratic Party in a more politically difficult situation, with leadership concerned that such a divisive process could place Democrats in swing districts in peril come 2020.
Another liberal activist organization is ramping up the pressure on House Democrats to launch impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, a move that leadership has continued to warn against amid low public approval rating for forcibly removing the president from office.
“It’s time for every member of Congress to go on the record about whether they believe Trump’s criminal conduct is acceptable,” Stand Up America Founder and President Sean Eldridge told Newsweek in a statement. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has continued to tamp down calls for impeachment, despite saying the White House is “just crying out for impeachment” by stonewalling Democrats’ congressional investigations and refusing to comply with subpoenas. The party already began the process of holding Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena for the unredacted Mueller report, a process that could also ensue with other administration officials who have refused to cooperate.
