Julian Castro: It would be "perfectly reasonable" to initiate impeachment proceedings, he told CNN.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.: Introduced a resolution last month calling for the House Judiciary Committee to investigate Trump for impeachable offenses.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minnesota, is also supporting Tlaib's call for an impeachment investigation.

Steve Cohen, D-Tenn.: Told MSNBC Friday that “I believe impeachable offenses have been committed,” Cohen, who introduced five articles of impeachment against Trump in November 2017, told MSNBC Friday. "I believe it’s worthwhile to put in the history’s files what this man has done, and impeach him. But I don’t think it’s going to happen politically. I think a middle ground would be a censure."
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif.: Told MSNBC's "AM Joy" Sunday, that she is calling out Republicans' patriotism if they supported impeaching President Bill Clinton, but not Trump, reports Real Clear Politics.
Rep. Al Green, R-Texas: Made his third call for Trump's impeachment Thursday, reports CW39 in Houston. He said if the Judiciary Committee won't bring it to the floor, he'll introduce the resolution himself.
