Gabbard joins centrist Democrats call to censure Trump while remaining undecided on impeachment

Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard joined other centrist Democrats in calling for President Trump to be censured as a more restrained punishment than impeachment.

Several at-risk Democrats have urged Congress to consider a censure resolution rather than articles of impeachment to punish Trump for what they consider to be an abuse of power displayed in his July 25 phone call with Ukrainian leaders. A censure is a formal condemnation from Congress that stops short of asking the Senate to remove the president.
