House votes to table (kill) impeachment resolution
Texas Rep. Al Green introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump this week. Today, the House voted against them.
The vote was to table, or kill, impeachment.
332-95, House rejects Al Green effort to impeach Trump over racism. While an overwhelming bipartisan rejection, 95 Democrats voted against tabling it. That's more than the 58 Democrats who voted against tabling impeachment in 2017 and 66 Dems in 2018. https://t.co/dMs0aNc1Cg

Al Green never has a strategy for *passing* the impeachment resolution; all he ever does is irritate Dems who have to explain why they oppose it. Plenty of Dems who want to begin the actual process will oppose this bc it's toothless. https://t.co/Hadex1xXpf

Looks like basically all Dems' vulnerable freshmen are voting to table, including @RepMalinowski who backs an impeachment inquiry.
