Just yesterday we were talking about the political pressure that's been building on Speaker Nancy Pelosi from members of her caucus who are demanding impeachment proceedings against President Trump.
The Speaker has called a meeting this morning with Democratic leaders and the subject is impeachment.
A rapid-fire string of developments has congressional Democrats putting increased pressure on party brass to launch impeachment proceedings against President Trump, with one rank-and-file lawmaker reportedly saying the president is "Raping the country" and others indicating it's only a matter of time before leadership changes course on the politically fraught issue.
Amid the internal tensions, Speaker Nancy Pelosi called a special meeting of House Democrats for Wednesday morning, where the impeachment issue and other battles are expected to be discussed.
Prior meetings involving Pelosi and top Democrats held Monday evening escalated into heated exchanges, with the party torn over how to address Trump controversies - most recently, the decision to block the former White House counsel from testifying.
Will the rest of the pack be able to pressure Pelosi into changing her mind?
The Democrats wouldn't need any GOP votes to move forward if they can somehow get their entire caucus onboard, but it would at least give Pelosi the excuse to call it a "Bipartisan initiative."
