It's well past time we vote to impeach Trump

With every passing hour, more evidence comes to light that President Donald Trump is abusing the power of his office. The latest development: Trump pressured the Ukrainian government to interfere in the 2020 election by digging up dirt on a potential opponent and went to great lengths to cover up the evidence that would expose his obvious wrongdoing.

Trump’s phone call with Ukraine demonstrated that he’s willing to betray our country for his own personal and political gain. It isn’t just a clear and open threat to the integrity of our elections – it’s an impeachable offense.

No one is above the law in this country, including and especially the president of the United States. That’s why we need the House of Representatives to swiftly draft articles of impeachment and vote to impeach Trump.

Lawmakers are more than capable of concentrating on kitchen table issues like health care and moving forward with impeachment. Both are critical to the health of our nation.
