    How impeachment is playing in one swing district

    Oct 04, 2019 5 minutes
    Eric Potter, who worked in insurance until he retired, speaks to a reporter at a town hall hosted by Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria of Virginia, Oct. 3, 2019, at the New Hope Baptist Church in Virginia Beach, Virginia. His first time at a town hall for Ms. Luria, Mr. Potter says he supports the congresswoman because of her defense of the Affordable Care Act and her position on impeachment.

    Denise Kline strolls up the driveway toward the glass doors of the New Hope Baptist Church in Virginia Beach, purse looped over her shoulder and notebook in hand. She’s here partly to show her support for Rep. Elaine Luria, who is hosting a town hall inside. 

    Mostly Ms. Kline is eager, if anxious, to hear what her fellow voters have to say to Ms. Luria about impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. 

    “I know that this is an incendiary flashpoint, impeaching, because we’re so polarized,” Ms. Kline says. But ever since documents surfaced relating to Mr. Trump’s July 25 conversation with the president of Ukraine, she – like her congresswoman – says that an investigation is the only honorable path to take. “I feel as if the Democrats must do this. We all should do this, actually,” Ms. Kline says.
