That’s the meaning of Thursday’s vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to authorize impeachment hearings. At the end of these hearings, they will vote to impeach the U.S. president. The Democrats are betting that Watergate-style televised hearings will convince independents and moderate Republicans in key states to vote against Trump and deny him a second term. House Democrats are betting that televised impeachment hearings will erode that bedrock of support for Trump. Instead, he risks entering the 2020 race seen only as one of the few presidents who have been impeached.
