'They do not agree with' Trump and 'think that the course that he is on is wrong for America,' Rep. Denny Heck said
Democratic leaders of the House Judiciary committee unveiled two articles of impeachment against Trump this week, one for"Abuse of Power" and the other for"Obstruction of Congress.
Democrats have alleged that this pressure campaign amounted to soliciting a foreign government to interfere in a U.S. election, which they view as an abuse of Trump's office and a threat to democracy. The second article of impeachment for obstruction is due to the White House's refusal to comply with subpoenas related to the congressional investigation and its efforts to block witnesses from testifying.
Despite the allegations and the testimony of multiple current and former Trump administration officials, Republicans have largelyand support the president. Many analysts believe it is likely that the vote for impeachment will pass without any Republican support in the Democrat-controlled House. However, numerous Democratic representatives have said over the past few months, as Heck did on Thursday, that Republicans have privately voiced their criticism and concern about Trump's actions.
House Minority Leader Representative Kevin McCarthy defends President Donald Trump during the weekly Republican leadership press conference December 10 in Washington, D.C.with the White House's actions during the impeachment inquiry. He argued that current and former administration officials who had been blocked from testifying should come before Congress.
However, Republicans in Congress have mostly appeared reluctant to criticize Trump throughout the proceedings. The president has maintained high approval ratings among GOP voters throughout his nearly three years in office, with the trend continuing despite the impeachment inquiry.
