Here Are the 2020 Democrats Who Want to Impeach Trump

Cory Booker: "Robert Mueller's statement makes it clear: Congress has a legal and moral obligation to begin impeachment proceedings immediately."

Kirsten Gillibrand: "So far, President Trump has stonewalled Congress. In doing so, he has left us with only one option: for Congress to begin impeachment proceedings."

Kamala Harris: "What Robert Mueller basically did was return an impeachment referral. Now it is up to Congress to hold this president accountable. We need to start impeachment proceedings. It's our constitutional obligation."

John Hickenlooper: "I think we have to begin an impeachment inquiry and that doesn't mean we're going to impeach President Trump tomorrow or maybe ever, but I think we do have an obligation to follow where the facts lead.".

Tulsi Gabbard: "I don't think that we should defeat Donald Trump through impeachment."

Calls to impeach President Trump have been met with stalling by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, even as more than 50 House Democrats have come out in favor of impeachment.

Pelosi is hesitant to begin impeachment proceedings as she does not wish to trigger a political backlash against Democrats, and does not believe that a Republican-controlled Senate would move to remove Trump after a Democratic-controlled House impeached him.
