Don’t Expect Trump To Be Removed From Office Two Weeks Early
There’s been lots of online chatter about: 1) Will Congress, particularly Democrats in the House, push for Trump’s impeachment and removal from office? and 2) Will the Cabinet invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump from power?
I don’t know the answer to these questions. But listening to Pelosi’s and Schumer’s speeches tonight, it sure sounds like they would rather just wait until Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20. Pence and McConnell didn’t even directly criticize Trump by name, so it’s hard to see them trying to push Trump out.
What has happened today is that it now feels like many Republicans in Congress don’t feel the need to defend Trump over these next two weeks, however, and that is notable.
