Lone Democrat's Trump impeachment push blindsides party

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

41% : Asked Wednesday whether Democratic leadership had attempted to talk him out of the move, Thanedar said: "They would like to focus on Medicaid and focus on SNAP and not so much on this, but this is a process.
33% : Even Rep. Jerry Nadler -- the top Democrat on House Judiciary who led the charge against impeaching Trump in 2019 -- stood up in front of his colleagues and called the idea "idiotic," according to a person who was in the room.
32% : Instead, I will add to my articles of impeachment and continue to rally the support of both Democrats and Republicans to defend the Constitution with me," Thanedar said, though he added that Trump has committed "more impeachable offenses" since initially filing his articles, including saying he will accept a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar.
24% : The Michigan Democrat had personally signaled to his party's leadership in recent weeks that he would not offer his articles of impeachment against Trump, according to three people familiar with the conversation.
