He likes his cushy job in DC, and wants to keep it.

[goldstategop]

Second Democrat to vote ”no”.

[ChildOfThe60s]

I doubt that very few of either party are going to vote on principles, not theirs (they have few) or the Constitution’s.

Expediency.

[upchuck]

Article sucks as it doesn’t clearly state party until second paragraph. Reporter or OP could have put a (D) after his name in the headline.

[John 3_19-21]

I see changes to next Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s House schedule.

[Fungi]

Interesting how anytime a democRAT is mentioned, his party affiliation is rarely noted—but it is the exact opposite with a republican.

[Alberta's Child]

Trump won Peterson’s district by an astonishing margin of more than 30 points in 2016. This was Trump’s largest margin of victory over Clinton in a House district with a Democratic representative.

[Last Dakotan]

Colin Peterson won't even run this fall and Minnesota will go Trump.

The backlash over bringing tens of thousands of Somalis to Minnesota will be severe.

[katieanna]

I believe there will be more defections and that there will not be even 216 votes. Yes I am serious.

Dem's probably voting no or not voting:

1. Collin Peterson (No this article)
2. Elijah Cummings (Dead but might vote)

[CondoleezzaProtege]

So when’s the vote?

[Maris Crane]

I hope that will be the last nail in an otherwise, SHORT, coffin that Lamb has built for himself.

I still have not forgiven him for winning in the first place.

A real hypocritical phony, in other words, a real democrat.

[Candor7]

That makes three Dems peeling away from the pro Impeachment vote:

Gabbard, Van Drew and Peterson. All we need is 23 more! And we have 31 possibles!

SO MUCH WINNING!

[dontreadthis]

“unless he hears something to change his mind”

cue a last minute deep state hoax

[bk1000]

They are going to come up just shy of enough votes to impeach. They know the consequences of moving forward.

[ealgeone]

Pelozi has her 218 votes to pass impeachment.

She's told the others they can vote against it.

[Southnsoul]

I watched a video clip of Rep. Peterson, who is the chairman of an agricultural committee, saying the following and he reminded me of the way Democrats used to sound, sensible and fair-minded. In fact, he looked at the NPR reporter, straight into the eyes and was very believable in his opposition to what the Democrat leadership was doing and the President’s innocence.

“The biggest problem I have with this is that you had people that decided they’re going to impeach him. And how they spent a year trying to figure out how they could make a case for it. That’s backwards, you know? I just don’t agree with this. I would say if you did a poll in my district, over half of the people in my district think you shouldn’t do foreign aid in the first place, ok? So to convince them that holding up foreign aid is a big deal? They want to get rid of it! We don’t have any first-hand information about what happened on that phone call. It’s all secondhand information. You know, the whistleblower was all secondhand information. You know, the President has not committed a crime.”

Peterson supported Bernie Sanders in 2016, saying he couldn't bring himself to vote for Clinton, and he represents a Republican-leaning rural district where he's perceived as vulnerable in 2020.
