Today, Rep. Joe Cunningham issued the following statement announcing his position in support of the Articles of Impeachment: We are a nation of laws and no single person is above the rule of law in America. Even the President needs to be held accountable if he violates the Constitution.I did not come to Congress to impeach the President.Butafter careful consideration of the evidence and testimony delivered to Congressby dedicated public servants, many of whom the President himself appointed, it is clear to mehecommitted an impeachable abuse of power. The President used the power of his office to coerce a foreign government into investigating his political rival for personal gain. By refusing to cooperate with Congress and lawfully-issued subpoenas, the President clearly obstructed Congress. For these reasons,I support the Articles of Impeachment. This process has not distracted me from delivering real results for the people of the Lowcountry. Just last week, we passed landmark legislation to allow Medicare to negotiate directly with drug companies to lower the cost of prescription drugs. We also voted to pass the NDAA, which secures $37.2 million in vital funding for Parris Island needed to maintain the flow of new marines. In the last twelve months, we've passed bipartisan legislation to permanently ban offshore drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, extend health benefits to Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent Orange, and we just reached an agreement with the President on a trade deal with Mexico and Canada. I'm proud of my record as one of the most independent members of Congress and I will continue to work across the aisle to get things done for the Lowcountry. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
