Thanedar succumbs to pressure and pulls Trump impeachment resolution

Published May 14, 2025 5:59pm ET



Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) pulled articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Wednesday after a pressure campaign from Democratic leadership that rebuked their caucus member for pushing an agenda they called “not timely” and “unserious.”

Thanedar’s seven articles against Trump sought to remove him from office for high crimes and misdemeanors. He filed it as privileged on Tuesday, requiring it to be called up in two days for a full House vote. It was scheduled for a vote on Wednesday, but he said in a statement he would “add to my articles of impeachment” and “rally the support of both Democrats and Republicans.”
