Rep. Jared Golden announced Tuesday that he will only vote for one article of impeachment against President Donald J. Trump. Golden said he will vote “yes” on Article 1, the charge of abuse of power, and vote “nay” on Article 2, the charge of obstruction of Congress.
“This action crossed a clear red line, and in my view, there is no doubt this is an impeachable act,” Golden said of abuse of power, but he contended that Article 2 does not rise to the level of an impeachable offense.
Maine’s other U.S. representative Democrat Chellie Pingree said she will vote in favor of both articles of impeachment, citing a “mountain of evidence” that Trump abused his office, despite giving any further detail.
