John McLaughlin, a presidential pollster, recently quipped that if public anger at impeachment continues to swell, worried Democrats will be inclined to pass more of Trump’s agenda in order to give them cover in their elections next year. According to the Washington Examiner:
“Democrats in states and districts the president won are at serious risk if they vote for impeachment. So they are rushing to vote for the president’s popular positions,” he said, adding, “If [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer keep pressing impeachment, it’s likely the president will get his entire agenda passed and reelected in a landslide.”
