Democratic Representative Elissa Slotkin, co-author of a column that helped launch the impeachment inquiry of President
Donald Trump, ended months of uncertainty on Monday by telling voters at a noisy town hall meeting that she will vote for impeachment.
The cheers - along with chants of "Impeach Slotkin, keep Trump!" - that greeted her decision underlined the wrenching partisan pressures that vulnerable
Democrats in swing districts have faced ahead of this week's planned House vote on impeaching the
Republican president.
"To me, this is something that I cannot abide," Slotkin, a former CIA and Department of Defense official who captured a Republican-held seat in 2018, said of charges that Trump abused his power to pressure
Ukraine to investigate political rival
Joe Biden and obstructed Congress' probe of the matter.
