At least 2 House Democrats plan to vote against impeaching President Trump, one of them is New Jersey’s Jeff Van Drew.
Per Manu Raju of CNN:
Rep. Jeff Van Drew, one of two Democrats to vote against formalizing the impeachment inquiry, told me he plans to vote against all the articles of impeachment “unless there’s something that I haven’t seen, haven’t heard before.”
Van Drew warned Democrats to “be careful what you wish for” and he added that impeachment “is tearing the nation apart. … And I want to bring people together.” Van Drew said he would have preferred a censure vote so they could “move on.”

Raju also notes:
Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson, the other Democrat who also opposed the inquiry, said this when I asked if he’d vote to impeach: “I don’t have an idea what they’re doing.” And he walked on the floor.

Jeff Van Drew appeared on Tucker Carlson in late September and shared why he’s against impeaching President Trump.
WATCH:
Van Drew was blasted on Twitter by Democrats angry at the news.
If you vote no on impeachment you are no Democrat so you will lose your seat and we will put a Democrat in. Truth over power.

@CongressmanJVD You corrupt, ignorant, unpatriotic horse's ass! Trump is tearing the nation apart, destroying our relationship with allies, jeopardizing our national security and enriching himself in the process which is why he must be impeached and removed from office.
