Rep. Maxine Waters Says The House Already Has The Votes Locked Down To Impeach Trump


While we know that a clear majority of House members support some type of impeachment action against Donald Trump, Rep. Maxine Waters said on Thursday that Democrats already have the raw votes locked down to pass an article of impeachment against the president.

During an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, the powerful Democratic lawmaker said the House of Representatives could approve an article of impeachment against Trump right now if they wanted to.

“We’re there,” Rep. Waters told Matthews after he asked her if they have 218 votes to advance an article of impeachment.

The exchange between Matthews and Rep. Waters:

MATTHEWS: You know, I did work up here for a while to know how the game is played. I mean a game with high personal stakes with the country. But it comes down to numbers. Can you get 218 – a majority – 218 votes out of the House?

REP. WATERS: Oh, absolutely. We’re there.

MATTHEWS: Really?

REP. WATERS: Oh, absolutely.

MATTHEWS: For an article of impeachment?

REP. WATERS: Yes.

Democrats might have had some initial political concerns about impeachment, but the winds have shifted rapidly as the American people learn more about how Donald Trump is attempting to hijack another presidential election.
