WASHINGTON—Democrats mostly agree that President Donald Trump deserves to be impeached. Prominent party figures, notably presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, say the evidence demands an impeachment push no matter what the political consequences. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is among the senior leaders of the Democratic Party who are wary of handing President Donald Trump a political gift by calling for his impeachment. Polls suggest that significantly more Democratic voters favour impeachment than oppose it, but the idea is unpopular with independent as well as Republican voters. Hovering over the debate is the likelihood that even Trump’s impeachment by the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives would not result in him being ousted.
