NY Dem Suozzi warns party against impeaching Trump again: ‘Waste of time’

Newly reelected New York Democrat Tom Suozzi has urged his party not to rush into impeaching President Donald Trump, calling it a waste of time that could alienate voters. He says Democrats should use their new congressional majorities to focus mainly on affordability and the economy while carrying out their oversight responsibilities.

Democrats are expected to investigate issues including the handling of Jeffrey Epstein files, Trump’s family business dealings, a White House ballroom project and Iran policy; their expanded subpoena powers could support a third impeachment effort. Suozzi recommends spending 75% of their time on affordability and fixing problems, and 25% on oversight. He also called for bipartisan solutions, a renewed focus on working-class voters and support for Hakeem Jeffries as House speaker.
