Sen. Kamala Harris calls on Congress to take steps toward Trump impeachment

White House hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., says she supports the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

“I believe Congress should take the steps toward impeachment,” Harris said in response to a question at a CNN town hall in New Hampshire.

Last week, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., became the first 2020 presidential candidate to call on the House to begin impeachment proceedings.

Harris said she’s “a realist” and recognizes the Democratic-controlled House probably will look at the impeachment issue differently than the GOP-led Senate.

It is great to have members of congress stating this. Support from Senators is important.

I also like Buttigiegs answer. I think it's appropriate.
