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.

Peterson isn’t going to vote against his constituents. It would be political suicide.
So his vote against impeachment was expected.

Peterson is one of the last bonafide blue dog Democrats. He's represented the district way back since I was in graduate school in its largest city (Moorhead). He was the first from the party to call on Al Gore to throw in the towel after the 2000 election Florida debacle.
They love him for the same reason the voters of this district love Donald Trump-- the "don't give a $#*+" attitude.
