A long-shot effort by Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar to force an impeachment vote against President Donald Trump was abruptly pulled Wednesday evening after a group of Democrats signaled they would vote with Republicans to block the move.
Moments before a planned vote on a motion to table Thanedar’s impeachment resolution — a procedure that would have effectively killed it for the time being — the Michigan Democrat reversed course and opted not to call up the resolution for floor consideration.
“After talking with many colleagues, I have decided not to force a vote on impeachment today, “ he wrote on social media while accusing Trump of committing “more impeachable offenses” since he introduced his seven articles of impeachment.
