WASHINGTON—Twenty-six Republican House members are urging Senate leaders to require five senators who are campaigning for the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nomination to recuse themselves if an impeachment trial is held in the upper chamber.
“Unless it benefitted their fundraising or propped up their campaign issues page, the Senate Democrats running for President have ignored their day job and their constituents,” Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.) said in a statement announcing the resolution.
