The impeachment inquiry against the president leaves a few Trump country Democrats in a tight spot. An AP survey finds 6 of 235 House Democrats as either not supporting or undecided on the inquiry. All six hail from districts Trump won handily in 2016.
FILE - In this Nov. 15, 2018, file photo, then Rep.-elect Kendra Horn, D-Okla., walks through the basement of the Capitol in Washington. Horn is among the Democrats in swing districts who find themselves in a tight spot as the House opens an impeachment inquiry related to President Donald Trump's request for a foreign leader to dig up dirt on a political rival.
As of Friday morning, an Associated Press survey of most of the House Democrats showed six as either not supporting or undecided on the inquiry that was announced this week by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The six represent an extraordinarily small share of the 235 Democrats in the House. And Pelosi doesn’t need them to move ahead with an investigation.
Horn’s margin of victory in 2018 was just 1.4 percentage points in a district that Trump won by nearly 14 points. “I think we have allegations and news reports right now, and I’m not going to jump to any conclusion until all the facts come out,” said Brindisi, whose district Trump won by 16 points.in her sprawling district in New Mexico’s border region, which has traditionally voted Republican.
