Most House Democrats are expected to vote for the two articles of impeachment against President Trump. However, we told you last week about one Dem who will reportedly be switching parties over the impeachment issue while eyes are on other Democrats in districts considered unsafe.
One of those Democrats, Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, has announced her decision on impeachment:
Michigan Dem Congresswoman @ElissaSlotkin : “Why I'll vote to impeach Trump” https://t.co/e56TXa9YZi

Slotkin is being thanked by Democrats for putting “country over politics” (it’s most likely the other way around), but others are saying she just ended her political career. Here’s why:
Slotkin represents an R+4 congressional district that Trump won 51-44 in 2016

Slotkin can spend the next few days enjoying the applause from Democrats, but what will that mean for her re-election chances? Place your bets!
Simple, if she did the right thing and voted no the DNC will pull all support and fundraising efforts for her, and she would face a primary.

Slotkin would no doubt rather lose the election than be shunned by her party (and the liberal media) for the rest of her political life.
She’s toast in 2020. Bye-bye.

One term rep! Will be great to flip the house! Thanks Elissa for helping the GOP?

Abandoning her voters…not smart. https://t.co/LTqCXJa0hd

Next November we’ll find out what the voters in her district think of all this.
