White House bets some Democrats like Utah’s Ben McAdams will vote against impeaching Trump

Washington • The White House says some Democrats in swing districts – including Rep. Ben McAdams of Utah – may vote against impeachment because their constituents oppose the move and they could face a backlash for engaging in the effort to remove President Donald Trump.

“I don’t think this is going to be a vote on party lines,” Pam Bondi, a former Florida attorney general and now special adviser to the president, said Thursday. “I think a lot of Democrats are going to do the do the right thing.”

Bondi and colleague Tony Sayegh, senior adviser for strategy, are heading Trump’s media war room in combating the impeachment inquiry and both are bullish on the chances Trump will escape removal and even boost his poll numbers.
