Beto O’Rourke joins the Democrats who believe it’s time to take action against the president saying, “We should begin impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump.” The remark (watch above) came during a town hall Wednesday night on CNN. O’Rourke is trying to make up ground after struggling with poor poll numbers. Politico remarks:
O’Rourke enlivened an audience at Drake University with a presence that he has practiced for two months — sometimes in front of hundreds of supporters, sometimes only a few.
Though he’s slumped in polls, his performance served as a reminder of why O’Rourke was able to galvanize Democrats in his near-upset of Sen. Ted Cruz last year. He has an uncommon command of a stage — and an increasingly precise policy platform.
