After significant pushback from within his own caucus, Rep. Shri Thanedar on Wednesday dropped his bid to force a vote on an impeachment resolution against President Donald Trump.

“I have decided not to force a vote on impeachment today,” Thanedar announced on X. “Instead, I will add to my articles of impeachment and continue to rally the support of both Democrats and Republicans to defend the Constitution with me.”

Thanedar did not trigger a vote for his resolution, a procedural move that have needed to happen for the House to vote on the measure, sources told NOTUS.
