The House of Representatives has impeached President Trump, charging him with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. We traveled to Michigan to understand how a fractious Democratic Party ultimately united around impeachment, having started the year divided over the issue. Guests: Representative Elissa Slotkin (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/09/podcasts/the-daily/house-democrats-elissa-slotkin.html) and Representative Rashida Tlaib (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/22/podcasts/the-daily/house-democrats-rashida-tlaib.html), Democrats of Michigan.

Background reading:
Mr. Trump became only the third president in American history to be impeached (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/18/us/politics/trump-impeached.html?smid=pc-thedaily), as the House charged him with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The votes were largely along party lines (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/18/us/politics/trump-impeachment-vote.html?smid=pc-thedaily).
Moderate Democrats encouraged their party (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/25/podcasts/the-daily/impeachment-trump.html?smid=pc-thedaily) to begin the impeachment inquiry. Now, those representatives face a reckoning with that decision (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/16/us/politics/slotkin-impeachment.html?smid=pc-thedaily).
