With a few more House Democrats switching to team pro-impeachment this weekend, their ranks have swelled to 107 members — only 11 short of the majority of the caucus.
According to Politico, House members also got a boost from a colleague in the other chamber, as Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) issued an endorsement of the effort.
Pro-impeachment Democrats hope that the symbolic threshold of clinching the majority of the caucus will ramp up the pressure on Democratic leadership to get on board.
The House is currently out of session on an extended summer recess, where hearing from constituents back in members’ home districts may move the needle on the issue even further.
OK, they are short of a majority of the caucus, but they are still far short of the 218 to have a majority of the House, necessary for any vote to initiate an investigation. Does this matter to them? And if so, how do they get around it?
Democratic House Members MUST do their jobs. It is really past time for them to begin hearings that will lead to the tRump impeachment and enforce subpoenas. The Democratic leadership is out of touch, and it’s time to get started.
If (or as soon as) Pelosi supports impeachment, there will be unanimous or near-unanimous support for it in the caucus.
Hopefully, she is starting to feel the heat to impeach this criminal racist Republican President.

This can only keep going up especially on recess if they’re having town halls. Dems will get the message. Congrats, my old Sen. Murray.
