Democratic Rep. Jeff Van Drew said that he will vote against articles of impeachment that outline the case for President Trump’s removal from office, becoming the first Democrat to publicly say he will not vote with his colleagues.

Van Drew said that he did not think Trump’s conduct was grounds for impeachment and that impeachment would only end up helping the president in 2020.

“I don’t see anything there worthy of actually taking a president out of office,” he said. “I’m concerned about splitting our nation apart.”
