Bloomberg Campaign Manager: Impeachment Is Making Trump’s Re-Election ‘More Likely’

‘The impeachment proceedings are making the president’s re-election more likely, not less likely’

EXCERPT:

SHEEKEY: "Yes. Listen, I think I worry a lot that we're setting ourselves up to impeachment, acquittal and reelection. Listen, we're all outraged by what's going on. Anyone who looks at those things, you should be outraged by what this president has done. Except it's not helping in places where this election will ultimately be decided. There are about 31 congressional districts in this country that are swing districts. Mike Bloomberg spent an enormous amount of money and time and his own leadership to focus on 24 of those races last year, all Republican, we elected 18 Democrats, 15 of them are women. But if you're in one of t hose districts today and you're a moderate member of Congress, almost all of them would tell you today, these impeachment hearings are threatening their reelection. Now, if you think about that, those are the districts, too, where we tilt the presidential election, which by definition means these impeachment proceedings are making the President's reelection more likely, not less likely."
