The sights and sounds of Democrats’ vote to impeach President Trump
I had to be informed all of this was out of the ordinary though, because I too was a reporter with a temporary credential, in from out of town to witness history. In fact, I’d never even set foot in the Capitol, as wide-eyed Wednesday as the.
Outside, the halls were mostly quiet, save for low-frequency hum drum. Stenographers coming and going. Security workers debating fast food to fill the time:“We’re talking about fried chicken. There is no healthy option.”Nancy Pelosi Along with the other journalists who couldn’t get a ticket to sit in the press gallery I stood against the windowed doors separating the chamber from the Speaker’s Lobby, ear pressed against a crack to try to pick up what was being said.
As they did so, the journalists huddled around the door in the Speaker’s Lobby tried to pick various lawmakers out of the fracas, most notably Tulsi Gabbard, who had not been seen throughout the day and had previously expressed reservations about impeachment. Republican Whip Steve Scalise stopped by a few minutes later. “This is a stain on Democratic Party,” he said. “They’re the party of impeachment.”
Earlier in the day, the rotunda was swarming with tourism groups and hordes of kids on field trips, oblivious to what was happening a few feet away in the chamber. “180 feet tall!” a guide said of the height of “E Pluribus Unum” fresco painted on the dome’s underside before warning that Statuary Hall, the next stop, may be a little busier than usual today.
