Minutes before the House was scheduled for floor votes, Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar announced he would not force a vote to impeach President Donald Trump as he had planned. “After talking with many colleagues, I have decided not to force a vote on impeachment today,” Thanedar confirmed in a text message. “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.” His maneuver — which comes as he faces a tough primary challenger this cycle — was initially on track to force the full House to take a vote on Wednesday on whether to advance those impeachment articles.
