Rep. Ayanna Pressley introduced a resolution calling for an impeachment inquiry on Tuesday, but some Democratic senators think it will be a fruitless effort.

John King, CNN’s chief national political correspondent, said that even if Senate Democrats are hesitant about removing Kavanaugh from power, the question of impeachment is one for House Democrats to answer. Though King said Democratic leadership does not appear to be interested in impeaching Kavanaugh, it does not mean impeachment is off the table.
“If you’re going to impeach or re-investigate Brett Kavanaugh, that would come down to House Democrats, who at least so far have not shown any urgency to do so,” King said during an interview with Boston Public Radio on Tuesday. “I think [impeachment] is a ‘to be determined,’ especially now that you do have vocal members like Ayanna Pressley trying to stir this.”
