Claim that Democrats are 2 votes away from impeaching Trump is false


Facthcheck:

According to multiple news reports, including IBTimes UK, House Democrats are five votes short of the simple majority needed to pass impeachment articles before March 31.

The House currently has:

218 Republicans

213 Democrats

Democrats would need at least 218 votes to impeach Trump. They are trying to persuade a handful of centrist Republicans to cross over.
