Inside the jockeying to prosecute Donald Trump's impeachment: Behind the scenes, House Democrats battle to influence Speaker Pelosi's picks for the team that will take the case to the Senate.
After months of hearing House Democrats brag that they can walk and chew gum at the same time — meaning they haven't abandoned their legislative work to impeach Trump — it might be surprising to find that they had suddenly lost their ability to multitask at just the moment one of the pressing matters involves their own interests.
"There was discussion about if we keep the same number, it certainly should be a diverse group of people," Demings said. One factor that might restrict Pelosi's choices: electoral politics. Some of Democrats' top recruits in the last election cycle — who took over Republican seats — are former prosecutors who now have to worry about winning re-election in districts that favored Trump in 2010. Reps. Mikie Sherrill and Conor Lamb of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, respectively, are veterans and former federal prosecutors.
