A New York Times columnist said the House’s move to delay sending articles of impeachment to the Senate makes the impeachment process appear “more political” and noted that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) doesn’t have much control over what the Senate might do.
David Brooks told PBS, “I think it’s very risky. As [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell said, why is withholding something I don’t want to do, why is that leverage? And so, it was always going to be a reality that, once the House voted to impeach, they were going to lose control of the process. And they have essentially lost control of the process.”
