How many Democrats in the House have endorsed starting impeachment hearings?

[NewJeffCT]

The numbers I have seen through mid June were somewhere in the high 60s to the mid 70s. This is out of a caucus that has over 230 members and less than 1/3 support starting impeachment. I live in the blue state of Connecticut and NONE of our five Democratic representatives in the House have endorsed starting impeachment hearings, inquiries or proceedings as of yet. I don't think Pelosi can wave a magic wand and suddenly all 235 or so Democrats in the House will support impeachment.

I don't think Pelosi is going to do anything in public regarding moving towards impeachment until a good majority of the caucus has endorsed starting impeachment hearings/inquiries in public and she can say that she didn't want to do it, but the public and her caucus demand it.

So, if you have a Democratic rep that has not come out for impeachment, I would hope you could contact him or her and let them know you support impeachment -and then keep up the pressure. My rep. Jahana Hayes does not at this time, but seems open to it down the road. I've been contacting her at least weekly on this for a few months now (I contact her a few other times per week on other issues as well)

Just my guess, but it seems the rest of DU is putting in their 2 cents.

2. as of yesterday about 67 out of 240 are in favor, up 1-3 per week.

so no wonder Pelosi is stalling. IMO.

4. agreed

It's going to take time to build it up to pass 100 and get closer to 200

Right now there at 70 Democrats. Plus, if you follow the link you see members explanations for why they are taking the position they are.
