- Robert Mueller's testimony showed there were 199 criminal charges, 7 guilty pleas, 37 indictments and Trump's presidency can be defined as crimes, corruption and obstruction of justice and it is up to Congress to hold him accountable not the 2020 candidates, he said.
- Candidates who previously signaled support for impeachment didn't mention it in their stump speeches, and voters offered praise for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, who has tried to pump the brakes on her caucus push for impeachment.
- Kevin Mack, lead strategist of Need to Impeach, an anti-Trump group founded by Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer, said he doesn't see a disconnect between pro-impeachment Democrats on Capitol Hill and the candidates crisscrossing the nation who seem to have turned the page.
- Warren became the first major presidential contender to call for impeachment on April 19, and others signaled their support including Sen.
- Some House Democrats remain undeterred, with more than three dozen saying the Mueller testimony was worrisome enough that they announced support for impeachment in the weeks afterward.
