House Democrat in Trump district endorses impeachment
One of the 12 House Democrats who represents a district won by President Trump in 2016 is now endorsing articles of impeachment.
Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-N.H.) said in a statement on Thursday that she is cosponsoring impeachment articles introduced by liberal Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.).
Previously, other Democrats who have endorsed impeachment of Trump have largely hailed from safe blue districts.
In supporting impeachment, Shea-Porter cited comments from Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) warning that Trump is not fit for office.
"Many Members of Congress, including myself, agree with Republican Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker that President Trump poses a dangerous threat to national security and the future of our democracy," Shea-Porter said in a statement.
"I believe it is past time for Members of Congress to put country before party and bring these discussions out into the open,” she added.
