As was widely expected, the House voted down a measure that would have opened the door to impeaching President Trump, the New York Times reports.
The measure was introduced by Texas Rep. Al Green, who had repeatedly introduced similar measures before Democrats took control of the House in January. Green said he introduced the measure because Trump's racist comments - for telling members of the "squad" to 'go back to your own country' - justified impeachment.
The vote was 332-95 to table - that is, kill - Green's resolution. Democrats voted 137-95 with one voting "present", and Republicans voted Rep. Al Green's (D-TX) impeachment resolution. Democrats 137-95 (with 1 voting "present") Republicans unanimously voted against it 194-0 and the newly independent Justin Amash also voted against.
My take: I think enough Democrats knew that impeachment was a poison pill that would hurt them in the long run that they wisely voted it down.
Orange Man invincible. For now.
