Tulsi Gabbard should break from the Democrats and vote against impeachment

House Democratic leadership expects to lose members during the impeachment vote. One of those members could be presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, who is giving up her congressional seat to focus on the 2020 race.

Gabbard is not an establishment Democrat, nor is she a party loyalist. Indeed, much of her presidential campaign has been spent distancing herself from the Democratic Party — a party that is no longer one “of, by, and for the people,” she said last month. Gabbard wants to represent a new, better Democratic Party. If she’s serious, then she should vote against impeachment.
