A House Democrat's suggestion of a Trump impeachment inquiry has sparked division among colleagues. Many Democrats are wary of impeachment after Trump's return to power, while their base desires strong opposition. The debate arises as Democrats choose a new House Oversight Committee ranking member. Jasmine Crockett supports an inquiry, while other candidates prefer alternative approaches. Crockett believes an inquiry conveys the gravity of the issues and grants extra investigative powers. Republicans used a similar strategy effectively, according to Crockett, who feels Democrats overthink such issues. Other candidates emphasize a caucus-wide decision and thoughtful process, prioritizing inquiries outside impeachment. Some Democrats fear Republicans will exploit the impeachment talk to mobilize their base. Crockett remains open to modifying her language if it proves harmful to her caucus.
