throwing cold water on the pursuit, reminding republicans wednesday of the hearing s purpose. to be clear, republicans have not established any grounds to impeach. they have not uncovered evidence of wrong doing or malfeasance. policy disagreements and personal grudges are not the basis for impeachment. reporter: now, wolf, the administration is also facing head winds of its own as it escalates a feud with the governor of texas over the border and a court ruling that could put biden s border plan in jeopardy. but today, mayorkas will remain a gop target as that unfolds. indeed. priscilla, thank you very much. let s discuss what s going on with charlie dent, a form i republican congressman, and jamal simmons. jamal, did republicans make the case today to support impeaching
care where these senators are coming down on the issue of impeachment? well, as the recent washington post abpoll showed, democrats, overwhelming majority, support impeaching donald trump. so it is important for i think these candidates to be firm on that matter. as we saw at this past debate, candidates are approaching this in very different ways. you have elizabeth warren focusing on the corruption aspect of this. then you have people like andrew yang who are more focusing on the facts there are structural problems and not focusing on impeaching and impeaching donald trump is not going to solve all those problems. as natasha said, it is going to be problematic for senators sitting on the bench listening in silence. senators are not allowed to speak during these testimonies. and not out there on the campaign trail. it also could rile hurt people like senator amy klobuchar who are just finally seeing a bump in their polling. so, you know, that also could be part of nancy pelosi s cal
it also brings it back too. what i see in that quote is really from chuck schumer. i want to remind everybody what articles of impeachment are about and they don t involve the conduct of hunter biden. let s remember. one of the main republican defenses here is no first hand witness. well, chuck shooemer is saying here s people who did. i agree with bianna. i don t think the republicans writ large want hunter biden. as a group, that is a dangerous path. then you re opening the door to these real witnesses and you re opening the door to this becoming a complete circus. the moderate republicans in the senate who might be inclined to side with some democrats on things. i do want to leave with one polling note here. there s been a fresh round of polling on impeachment. and this comes from fox news of all places. 50% of americans according to the fox news poll now support impeaching and removing the president from office. an additional 4% support
grow, we have to figure out a way to win back voters in the suburbs. ask the democrats we re not who won republican house seats how they re doing with impeachment. how do those democrat members who took the majority from us, how do they go back in a trump winning seat and say the best thing for america is to impeach donald trump? that dog doesn t hunt as turley said yesterday. i think the majority for democrats is in jeopardy because america hasn t bought into this. come on. hang on. hang on. i ll tell america the poll numbers. right now the latest cnn poll is 50% of americans in the latest cnn poll last week support impeaching and removing the president. 50%. now now, republicans know. but when you add up all americans it s 50% impeach and remove. go ahead, charlie. look. look. sean, if things are going so well, why are so many members retiring under these
impeachment inquiry into president trump today. today the process entered a new phase. the house judiciary committee held its first hearing as the committee decides whether president trump s actions rise to the threshold outlined in the constitution of high crimes and misdemeanors. four witnesses gave their views. three of the scholars support impeaching president trump, one does not, all of them offering their expertise during today s hearing. noah feldman was one of the individuals. i just want to ridden a quick sound bite of noah feldman talking about his views. professor feldman, did president trump commit the impeachable high crime and misdemeanor of abuse of power based on that evidence and those findings? based on that evidence and those findings the president did commit an impeachable abuse of office.
