Democratic congressman pushes articles of impeachment against Trump, but colleagues criticize it

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : " "The work that we need to focus on is that Republicans are stripping away access to health care, stripping away nutritional assistance for hungry kids, and giving tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans and large corporations," said Rick Larsen, D-Wash.
33% : It would be the historic third time Trump has faced impeachment efforts after being twice impeached during his first term as president -- first in 2019 on charges related to withholding military aid to Ukraine as it confronted Russia and later on a charge of inciting insurrection over the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol by a mob of his supporters.
26% : Trump was acquitted both times by the Senate.
18% : Thanedar is not the only Democrat who has signaled impeachment efforts against Trump.
18% : " Aguilar added that Trump "is no stranger to impeachment" but said Thanedar's proposal is "not ripe and not timely" given the negotiations over Republicans' budget reconciliation package.
14% : Thanedar's resolution claiming Trump committed "high crimes and misdemeanors" comes as Trump is traveling in the Middle East in his first major trip abroad of his second term, violating a norm in American politics of not criticizing the president once he leaves the U.S. waters' edge.
