It’s actually looking like Pelosi’s decision to not immediately impeach has actually garnered the effort more momentum and some Republican support as more donors began to pull funds away from Republicans who supported the attempted coup.
I mean, on impeachment eve, Dems coudn't have better headlines than House Republicans backing their effort and McConnell reportedly saying he is pleased with the effort and wants to purge Trump from the GOP.
It is much harder for Republicans to frame Trump's impeachment as a divisive, partisan measure when some of their Republican colleagues are supporting it. Democrats can now claim that impeachment is bipartisan and unifying.
Since this thread is popping, I’ll connect my earlier thread on what I think is motivating McConnell: https://twitter.com/AhmedBaba_/status/1349108567903760387
