The House Judiciary Committee has voted to send two articles of impeachment against President Trump to the full chamber for a vote, which could take place as early as next week. The House will almost certainly vote to approve the articles, and then the effort will move to the Senate, where Republicans should hold a vote as soon as possible.
Given the House’s Democratic lean, it’s no surprise that impeachment has gotten this far. In the Senate, however, Republicans won’t buy it. Many of them have made it clear that they’d like to expedite the process and immediately vote to acquit the president. Then again, there has been mention of drawing things out on purpose through the Democratic presidential primaries to keep the public eye away from the Democratic contenders, especially while Republicans control the Senate trial.
