Top House Dems signal openness to 25th Amendment push

(Andrew Solender – Axios) House Democratic leadership took a noticeable step Wednesday towards embracing a long-shot push to remove President Trump from office through the 25th Amendment. The time it takes for Democratic leadership to yield to riled-up rank-and-file lawmaker demands is getting shorter and shorter. Congressional Democrats largely repudiated the notion of pursuing long-shot maneuvers like impeachment or the 25th Amendment a year ago. But the political cost of opposing even the most drastic anti-Trump tactics has risen considerably. Democratic lawmakers don’t want to get an earful from the party faithful for being insufficiently combative. – House Democratic leaders signal openness to 25th Amendment push
