List: The 93 House Democrats calling for an impeachment inquiry into Trump

"While there are varying degrees of how far critics of the President are willing to push the process, one relatively basic litmus test is whether lawmakers would support starting an impeachment inquiry, the first significant step in the process."

"Of the 235 Democrats in the House, there are at least 93 -- according to a CNN count -- who've made public comments advocating at least for starting the impeachment inquiry process, while some have gone further."

Although the article does not mention it, Harley Rouda took Republican Dana Rohrabacher's decades-held seat here in Orange County California. He is my representative and I couldn't be prouder of him

And speaking of Orange County, our very own Katie Hill is also on that list, and she flipped a red seat in 2018 as well.

And that's just two I know because I live in [formerly red, now blue] Orange County. CA and know these two. There may be others. I'm just not familiar with a lot of the representatives on that list.

My impression is that most freshman Democratic Representatives are trying not to rock the boat. The only red-to-blue flipper I know of is Joe Cunningham from south of me, and he's not on the list.
