After several vulnerable Democrat House members indicated they would support articles of impeachment on Monday and Tuesday, it appears that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) caucus has the votes to impeach President Donald Trump this week, according to a review by the Epoch Times.

At least 20 Democratic representatives of the 31 districts that voted for Trump in 2016 have announced they would support two articles of impeachment. The Democrats need a minimum of 216 votes to impeach, assuming all members of the House are present and voting. Barring any surprises, the current number of Democratic House members can vote to impeach when the two articles hit the floor on Wednesday.
