Republicans maintain support for Trump while Democrats keep up pressure



On Sunday morning, President Trump defended by the Republicans  in the midst of a developing impeachment inquiry while Democrats kept up the weight on him.

On "Meet the Press," Ron Johnson, a Republican senator from Wisconsin, shows his support for Trump. In response to questions from host Chuck Todd, Johnson constantly centered on the 2016 political election, instead of the present inquiries regarding Trump.




“Something pretty fishy happened in the 2016 campaign ... and we still don’t know,” Johnson said. Todd attempted to guide the discussion back to the circumstances surrounding the impeachment inquiry and become progressively exasperated with Johnson.

A Democratic senator from Connecticut,Chris Murphy said “I’m deeply scared by the positioning the Republicans have chosen to take.”

“I think public opinion will change” about Trump. He added that as the inquiry proceeds

Murphy likewise said that he figures numerous Republicans will stay stalwart behind Trump.

“It’s true, the president could shoot someone in the middle of fifth Avenue, and Republicans won’t care.”




The administration endured seven days of damaging developments that included Trump openly approaching Ukraine and China to research previous VP Joe Biden and his son — agreeing Democrats' allegation that the president was utilizing his power to focus on a political rival.

Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, who is part of the House Democratic leadership said on ABC’s “This Week.” “The evidence of wrongdoing by Donald Trump is hiding in plain sight,” “The president’s own words in the public domain has indicated that he doesn’t think there’s any problem in soliciting foreign interference.”



Trump asserts that Biden inappropriately helped his son Hunter benefit from business deals in Ukraine and China. The allegations identified with Ukraine have been discredited, and those identified with China aren't bolstered by publicly known informations. Biden's 2020 presidential campaign has dismissed the claims as without merit.

One of Trump's staunchest Republican partners, Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, declined on Sunday to safeguard Trump's recommendation, make to media outside the White House, that China look into the Bidens. The president wasn't being not serious, Jordan said.
