Dems Consider Impeachment: US Politics in 60 Seconds

Is the impeachment of President Trump more likely following the Mueller Report?

Well, it's slightly more likely, but still very unlikely to happen. There's not widespread public support. It would be very dangerous for Democrats to impeach. They'd rather just keep talking about it. Hold hearings, bring Miller up to the Hill, make it an issue in 2020.

What happened to Beto-mentum?

Well, he's been underwhelming on the stump and people are wondering where are the policy ideas. At a time when somebody like Elizabeth Warren seems to come out with new big ideas every day, he's got to step it up.

Will big GOP donors line up with Trump in 2020?

Yes, they already are. People who supported Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, they're all starting to line up with Trump, because they like the tax cuts and don't want to see a Democrat win.

Is there bipartisan support for lowering drug prices?
