How the House’s Newest Women Voted on Impeachment

By  | 

President Trump was impeached earlier this evening. The votes fell almost exactly on party lines, 230 to 197 on Article 1 and 229 to 198 on article two in favor of the democrats.

The House Judiciary Committee approved two articles of impeachment against Trump last week. The first charged him with abuse of power for pressing Ukraine into investigating incriminating evidence against his Democratic competitors to help with secure the 2020 presidential election. The second was for obstruction of justice for not complying with Congress to supply testimony and documents for the impeachment hearings.
