'Impeachment is unpredictable': 2020 race braces for uncertainty.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s announcement that the House will move forward with a formal impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump is set to scramble an already unpredictable presidential race, as Democrats must now calibrate their strategies to match a rapidly shifting political landscape.
The move comes as the 19 Democrats running to oust Trump are preparing for the critical run-up to the first votes being cast in Iowa’s early February caucuses in less than five months. "Those are all very different moments in American political history," said William Howell, chair of the University of Chicago’s political science department and the director of the Project on Political Reform."The facts differ in all three of those moments."
"We were stronger together," she said, referencing Clinton’s 2016 campaign slogan."But the intensity around divisiveness was the conversation everybody wanted to have. It feels like if you're not in the ring, figuring out or guiding what side you need to be on, that you're out of the ring." Others also caution that Democrats need to keep their impeachment inquiry narrow in scope to maximize its impact and persuade the American public.
The campaign raised a total of $5 million in the 24 hours since Pelosi’s announcement, according to Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale.
