There are now 30 members of the House who represent districts that Trump won in 2016.
Nancy Pelosi said that she will not pressure them to vote for impeachment but evidently buying them is perfectly fine.
You may have noticed that in recent days several of them have decided to vote for impeachment.
Coincidently or not the HOUSE MAJORITY FORWARD — an arm of House Majority PAC, which supports House Democrats has spent millions of dollars for campaign ads for 16 of those representatives, which also coincidentally the Democrats need to pass the impeachment vote on Wednesday.
None of the sixteen have said they would vote no on impeachment. Several of them like Reps Max Rose, Kendra Horn and Elissa Slotkin have announced they would vote for impeachment after ads ran in their districts.
One thing you can say about Democrats is that they are honest politicians. Once you buy them, they stay bought.
The reps who had ads run for them by the PAC include Iowa Rep. CINDY AXNE, Maine Rep. JARED GOLDEN, Michigan Reps. ELISSA SLOTKIN and HALEY STEVENS, Nevada Rep. SUSIE LEE, New Jersey Rep. ANDY KIM, New Mexico Rep. XOCHITL TORRES SMALL, New York Reps. ANTONIO DELGADO and ANTHONY BRINDISI, Oklahoma Rep. KENDRA HORN, South Carolina Rep. JOE CUNNINGHAM, Utah Rep. BEN MCADAMS and Virginia Rep. ELAINE LURIA.
Ballotpedia reported on the origins of the House Majority PAC:
House Majority PAC was founded in 2011 to answer what its organizers saw as “the barrage of GOP outside spending and ensure that never again would groups funded by Karl Rove, the Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson and the like be able to drown out Democratic candidates.” The super PAC is associated with former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) who raised funds for the group in its early stages. It is also, according to Politico, seen as a sister group to the Senate Majority PAC, a super PAC associated with former Nevada Sen. Harry Reid (D).
All sixteen Democrat House members identified in the Politico report as beneficiaries of this current largesse from House Majority Forward are among the 31 House Democrats who represent districts President Trump won in 2016.
As of Sunday afternoon, two of them: Rep. Max Rose (D-NY) and Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV) have announced they will vote ‘yes’ on the articles of impeachment on the floor of the House this week.
