Jamie Raskin says impeaching Trump again ‘not a taboo with us’ but ‘not a panacea’

Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Democrat from Maryland, says that while impeaching Donald Trump again is not out of the question, it's also not a guaranteed solution to the country's problems. In an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press", Raskin stated that impeachment can be a useful tool for defending against a president who acts unconstitutionally, but noted that Trump has already been impeached twice and was acquitted both times by Republican lawmakers in the Senate. The January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol, which occurred during Trump's presidency, was a key moment that Democrats were unable to use to their advantage in an impeachment trial. Raskin also emphasized that if Democrats retake control of the House, they will prioritize issues like healthcare rather than pursuing impeachments.
