Rep. Anthony Brindisi (D-N.Y.), whose district favored President Donald Trump by about 15 percentage points, on Tuesday came out in support of the articles of impeachment against the president and said he planned to join the majority of House Democrats voting to impeach in a floor vote on Wednesday.

Brindisi, a first-term member of Congress, is among the final House Democrats to announce plans to impeach Trump, who is accused of abusing his power and obstructing Congress. A number of other Democrats in districts Trump carried in 2016 have signaled they would vote for impeaching Trump, likely imperiling their chances at getting reelected.
