Few of the 2020 presidential candidates have called for impeachment. Many worry that a focus on Trump benefits the president.
By Michael Scherer Michael Scherer National political reporter covering campaigns, Congress and the White House Email Bio Follow April 23 at 9:00 AM Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota did not want to say whether President Trump had done something impeachable. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont described the whole question as a potential distraction. And South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg worried about what voters would think.
Five candidates in sequence demonstrated their desire to speak about everything they found more pressing for the country — climate change, infrastructure spending, criminal justice reform, more federal funding for health care and college. While the Democratic-led House begins an effort to highlight through hearings the less flattering parts of Mueller’s report, the presidential candidates have decided to highlight everything else. Of the 19 candidates running for president, only two had called for Trump’s impeachment in response to Mueller’s report before Monday night’s forum.
“But here is my concern,” he said. “If for the next year, year-and-a-half, going right into the heart of the election, all that the Congress is talking about is impeaching Trump and ‘Trump, Trump, Trump,’ and ‘Mueller, Mueller, Mueller’ . . . what I worry about is that works to Trump’s advantage.”“I think he has made it pretty clear that he deserves impeachment,” he said of Trump, before making clear that he was not so interested in pursuing the matter himself.
Harris said she would give lawmakers 100 days to fix gun laws before imposing executive actions to toughen the rules, a move which would no doubt be challenged in court. “I think the right to vote is inherent to our democracy, yes, even for terrible people,” Sanders said.
