In 2016. so how are they going to break on the question of impeachment? a couple names to single out here. first of all, jeff van drew, this is new jersey. see him off here in the ocean but actually he represents the southern part of new jersey right there. sort of by atlantic city, that area and also this man right here, colin peterson, rural west minnesota. only two democrats who voted against even having this impeachment inquiry. van drew indicated to vote against impeachment when it comes to the house floor next week. peterson indicated he is likely to do that. already two democrats that look likely to be noes and then 29 others. there are a few here, lucy mcbath in the atlanta area, a few democrats from trump districts saying, yes, they ll vote for impeachment and a few on the record and a lot of democrats right now they haven t said much, keeping quiet. a lot of them go to the districts, have events and cautious and careful with how they approach this. ....
Results? i think we re at an interesting point. this is going to move to the house floor next week. as you said earlier, december 18 is looking like the date that the full house vote is going to happen. you have a democratic party, i think a lot of individuals and staffers are ready to turn the page on this. looking ahead, this is a vote that s expected to pass the house easily. there s a lot of talk among democrats in districts that trump won by a wide margin. but i think one kind of important thing to note right now is the scope of the articles themselves. you just had two, abuse of power and obstruction of congress. i think when you re looking at these moderate democrats, that s critical to what they say, their view is this is just about ukraine, this is just about national security. it s not trying to relitigate 2016 or dig into the mueller stuff too much. it s looking ahead to 2020 and the integrity of our elections. ....
Democrats made mention of the fact that republicans wanted to go to that planned white house christmas reception that started at 7:00 p.m. and so as a little bit of retribution, republicans offered a bunch of aemmendments and jamd up the process. so when it became clear that this panel was poised to vote on these articles of impeachment at midnight, potentially even 1:00 a.m., nadler tabled it and made the point that this is too important of a thing to have this vote in the dead of night. so he recessed and called a voice vote that will set up this committee vote on the two articles of impeachment at 10:00 a.m. so what do we expect today, jeff? so we expect that this committee will vote these articles of impeachment from the committee to the house floor. it will be a 23-17 split. it would normally be a 24-17 ....
Party-line vote out of this committee. over the 14 hours yesterday we learned nothing new, obviously. this was a very partisan process and we learned that the first to go after joe biden from republicans on this in congress, joe biden is the new hillary clinton for republicans in congress. they are going feast on him if he gets in the white house. if he doesn t get in the white house they re going to also feast on him and hunter biden. but this will proceed on partisan grounds. it s going to come to the house floor next week. we assume wednesday democrats do not want impeachment to be the last thing they do before they leave town for the christmas holiday. it s going to pass the house and republicans talking point at that point, we had a life event with kevin mccarthy in which he said the bipartisan vote will be the vote against impeachment. democrats are going to lose some votes of people in swing districts, maybe not in wisconsin, but places around the country. we ve heard nervousnes ....
