Democrats Clash Over Thanedar's Trump Impeachment Push

Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) has forced a House vote on seven articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, sparking backlash and internal conflict among Democrats. Senior Democrats including Jerry Nadler and Katherine Clark have criticized the move, calling it a distraction and pledging to vote against it. Party leadership argues the effort is futile in the Republican-controlled House and diverts attention from issues like GOP-led Medicaid cuts and Trump's legislative agenda. Many Democrats fear the motion will backfire on vulnerable members and bolster GOP arguments of partisan motivations. The House is expected to table the resolution in a largely bipartisan vote, effectively ending the impeachment effort. The episode underscores divisions within the Democratic caucus over strategy and priorities regarding Trump.
