Host Leah Askarinam here with us, the editorinchief of the national journal, hotline, to talk about the core implications of impeachment. Lets talk about the tone, and did it change the tone of campaign 2020, the Impeachment Vote in the house . Guest i dont think it changed the tone, but it added a new vessel for the tone that has already been established. We heard throughout the entire campaign, especially from the republicans, that this is a that 2020 is going to be a referendum on health care, and we heard from democrats that this is going to be a referendum on donald trump. That has not changed. What has changed is now in addition to the republicans using socialism as an attack, they can also now use impeachment. We have seen republicans spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in Congressional Districts, targeting vulnerable democrats hoping that because these voters , supported donald trump in 2016, that they will oust anyone voting to impeach him.

What has changed is now in addition to the republicans sm as an attack, they can also now use impeachment.

Guest they were vulnerable before impeachment, they will be vulnerable after impeachment. They took a calculated risk in supporting impeachment. Whether or not that changes voters minds remains to be seen. I think republicans are betting that Donald Trumps support is so critical for most republican elected officials. It is hard to win a primary and even a general election without supporting donald trump if you are a republican. With democrats, it is a little bit more foggy because what we found in 20 is that democrats, not embracing donald trump, but not really c
