Senate Democrats representing red states are worried the House impeachment process may spin out of control and destroy any chance their party might have of winning back the majority next year.
These Democrats hope the House keeps its impeachment focus on the Ukraine controversy, and that Democrats act relatively quickly. If they do not, the red-state Democrats warn President Trump could turn the tables on them.
Republicans warn Democrats risk a political backlash similar to what they felt in 1998 during the GOP-led impeachment of President Clinton. Democrats picked up congressional seats in that year’s midterm election.
