Rep. Cindy Axne (D-Iowa), a centrist Democrat who represents a battleground district in Iowa, said that the House Democrat-led impeachment inquiry could be a disaster for Democrats ahead of an election year.
“For months, Congresswoman Axne, before this Ukraine scandal broke, your Democratic House Speaker had been hesitant to wade into this full-blown impeachment inquiry fearing it could put moderate Democratic lawmakers—perhaps you put yourself in that category—in danger of the 2020 elections. How much of that fear is still there with you? This could be a political disaster for the Democrats could it not?” asked host Ben Kieffer of Iowa Public Radio in an interview.
