Six House Democrats Attended WH Christmas Ball

Axios reports:

Half a dozen House Democrats attended the White House Congressional Ball last night while their colleagues on the Judiciary Committee worked late into the night on articles of impeachment, according to two sources familiar with the event.

If you’re looking for clues about which House Democrats might vote against impeaching President Trump next week, one tempting place to start is with those who chose to be Trump’s guests at the annual ball — but that doesn’t mean the two lists will totally overlap.

Independent Justin Amash (MI-3) also attended. Amash left the Republican Party earlier this year after he backed formal impeachment proceedings.

In attendance: Antonio Delgado (NY-19), Susie Lee (NV-3), Elaine Luria (VA-2),Jim Costa (CA-16), Josh Harder (CA-10), Gil Cisneros (CA-39). Image above is Jim Costa.

Gil Cisneros, a freshman who won a tough race in California last year, told me he will vote for both articles of impeachment but acknowledged: “There may be some blowback … But as I’ve always said, for me this is about national security.” pic.twitter.com/wbzuQVjcn3
