Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Sunday he would not yet commit to pursuing impeachment charges against President Trump if Democrats regain control of Congress, despite growing calls from within his party.
During an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, Schumer agreed Trump is “violating rule of law in every way” but stopped short of labeling his actions as impeachable, saying it was “too far away to even judge” ahead of next year’s midterms.
His comments followed remarks by Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.), who said at a town hall that Trump has “exceeded any prior standard for impeachment” but stressed that Democrats would need to win the House to act.
Multiple Democrats, including Reps. Al Green (D-Texas), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), and Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), have recently voiced support for new impeachment proceedings against Trump.
