Democrat Majority Whip Hoyer: Not Sure If Every Dem Will Vote For Impeachment Inquiry

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “MTP Daily,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said he was not sure if every House Democrat will vote for the impeachment inquiry resolution scheduled for Thursday.

On the need for a formal vote on the impeachment inquiry tomorrow, host Chuck Todd said, “There are some members, he’s not alone, he voiced it, that not everybody’s convinced you need this vote tomorrow. Make the case.”

Hoyer said, “They’re correct. We don’t need the vote tomorrow. The court has indicated that we can proceed as we have been proceeding. However, what Jerry didn’t mention is we are contemplating changing from what is essentially the investigatory phase of this matter into the open hearing—public hearing—phase of the consideration of whether or not there is evidence to believe that the president has committed high crimes and misdemeanors.”
