Trump Impeachment Campaign Will Tour The U.S. To Pressure Democrats And Republicans To Remove President

A campaign calling for President Donald Trump’s impeachment, which has been backed by more than five million Americans, will hold 30 town hall meetings across the nation, centering on districts with a U.S. representative unwilling to push for removing the president from office.
Organized by the "Need to Impeach" campaign, the town halls will kick off on Thursday and aim to make the case to voters across the political spectrum that their "the inaction of their elected leaders in the Washington, D.C. area reflects broader neglect of their constituents," according to the campaign.
Need to Impeach founder Tom Steyer, a major Democratic donor, said Trump’s failure to respond to Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election is “a betrayal of his oath of office that leaves the country, and everyone living in it, in jeopardy.”
“Despite Trump’s overt dereliction of duty, the majority of our representatives in Washington D.C. refuse to hold him accountable,” Steyer said in a statement. “All voters have a basic expectation for the people we elect to fulfill their Constitutional responsibility to protect each of us and our democracy. If for some reason they can’t see their way clear to doing their sworn duty, they should resign, or we will replace them.”
