Democrats are NOT in a Hurry to Impeach Trump….

The idea NEVER was practical….

The incoming Democratic US House Majority would face a US Senate that would NOT have the vote’s convict Trump for the THIRD time….

Besides?

Democrats will have enough things to do over the next two years countering Donald and trying to undo some of his mess….

Progressive House members and candidates are taking a stark turn away from what they describe as “performative” efforts to impeach President Trump.

Why it matters: This is a drastic shift in tone from Trump’s first term, when progressives were some of the loudest voices in favor of impeachment.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) famously said of Trump in 2019, “We’re gonna impeach the motherfucker,” a line Republicans have routinely dredged up to dismiss impeachment efforts against the president as premeditated.

• On Thursday, she told Axios in a statement: “No matter what happens in November, we’ll still have a Trump administration for the next two years to hold accountable.”

While Trump may be off the board for now, his Cabinet certainly isn’t.

• The House could soon vote on an impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, triggered by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) just before lawmakers left for October recess.
• “I do think that holding Pete Hegseth [accountable] and looking into the ways in which our governing bodies have failed to meet the standards, the laws … is all part of holding this government accountable,” said Mejia…..
