Washington (CNN) There's a reason House Democrats haven't started impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump yet: almost none of their most vulnerable members support the move. CNN reached out to 41 freshmen Democrats who flipped Republican seats last year to ask if they currently support starting an impeachment inquiry. Known as the "majority makers" or "front-liners," this group was key to securing the Democrats' House majority last year. Even if Democrats in swing districts ultimately decide to support an impeachment inquiry, that doesn't mean it will happen. If the 60 or so House Democrats who currently support an inquiry are to succeed, they'll need to convince their moderate colleagues first.
