1st House Republican says he'll vote to impeach Trump
Republican Rep. John Katko of New York has released a statement saying he will vote to impeach Trump -- becoming the first Republican to publicly voice an expected vote to remove the president from office.
Katko joins at least 218 House Democrats who have signed onto a resolution charging Trump with inciting an insurrection. A House vote could happen as early as Wednesday, one week before Biden's inauguration at the Capitol.
“To allow the president of the United States to incite this attack without consequence is a direct threat to the future of our democracy,” Katko said in the statement. “For that reason, I cannot sit by without taking action. I will vote to impeach this president."
No House Republicans voted to impeach Trump in 2019.
