How impeachment could benefit Democrats in 2020

Though I’ve written about the signs that congressional Democrats and President Trump have both reached the conclusion that any impeachment effort would backfire and actually boost Trump’s reelection chances, there are also ways that it could work out in the opposite direction.

To be sure, polls have consistently shown that more Americans oppose impeachment than support it. And taking the action would likely distract House Democrats from being able to do anything else they’d want to do to improve their 2020 prospects.
