Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA), in an appearance on CNN on Wednesday, told the network’s Poppy Harlow that Democrats could not win Congress by running on “the ‘I’ word.”

“I believe that voting for a Democrat should not be seen as tantamount to a vote for impeachment,” he said. “If it is, we’re going to lose elections we otherwise might win.”

Connolly added that Trump voters were willing to vote Democratic, but they’d run away if the party just runs on impeachment.
