“This is not a partisan issue,” said Eve Shapiro, 67, a local pediatrician who favors impeachment. “Congress has made it one, but that’s what’s happening to our country. For us today, it’s about a president who obstructed justice. That’s not partisan.”
The rallies came on the eve of a set of votes by the full House on two articles of impeachment against Donald Trump.
The first article charges Donald Trump with abuse of power, stemming from the president’s attempts to get Ukraine to investigate the son of former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. in return for foreign aid. The second article charges the president with obstruction of Congress for blocking testimony and refusing to provide documents to lawmakers as part of the impeachment inquiry.
