Here are all the Democratic 2020 candidates who support impeaching Trump
In the early stages of the primary, most Democratic presidential candidates have avoided discussing Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into 2016 Russian election interference and the Trump campaign's conduct surrounding the meddling, instead focusing on policy. But after Attorney General William Barr released the redacted version of Mueller's report last Thursday, it has started come to the forefront, and talks of impeachment have followed.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) on Monday evening became the fourth candidate to officially back Congress beginning impeachment proceedings against President Trump during a CNN town hall at Harvard University.
Harris' announcement follows Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who was the first candidate to do so last Friday. Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro and Miramar, Florida, Mayor Wayne Messam (D) also said they believed the Mueller report reveals grounds for impeachment, per The Hill. South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg said that Trump "deserves" impeachment, but the issue should be left to Congress.
