Progressive lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently signaled that the ongoing impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump in the Democrat-led House of Representatives is part of an effort to ensure that the president is not reelected in 2020.

Still a year before the next presidential election, the Democratic party has never been clearer – Donald Trump needs to be impeached to prevent him from clinching another win in 2020. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in May that “they cannot accept a second term for Donald Trump”, and Hillary Clinton admitted that the Republican president “would be very hard to beat” unless the Democrat-led House succeeds in removing Trump from office in time for the 2020 election.

Now, AOC is back at it. In CNN’s The Situation Room, the Democratic superstar admitted that the public hearings initiated by House Democrats on the impeachment inquiry against Pres. Trump is “not just about something that has occurred” but also “about preventing a potentially disastrous outcome from occurring next year.”

“This call with Ambassador Sondland and President Trump is a personal call that our witnesses testified an aide was overhearing where Trump was personally invested in these investigations … [his] involvement in using the powers of government to create politically motivated investigations,” the freshman lawmaker from New York said.

“I’d like to remind everyone, one of the initial people who brought this conversation of quid pro quo into this conversation was the president … it wasn’t Democrats that set that bar, because you don’t need quid pro quo … we’re focused on him using the power of the United States government to engage in extortion of a foreign government in order to intervene in our elections,” she further said.

Ocasio-Cortez added: “I think that’s our message, the fact he undermined national security, that he is trying to undermine an election. He is engaged in flagrant abuse of power should be a concern to all Americans who believe in the rule of law in the United States of America.”

All about 2020

She concluded: “We also need to move quite quickly because we’re talking about the potential compromise of the 2020 elections. And so this is not just about something that has occurred; this is about preventing a potentially disastrous outcome from occurring next year.”

Read that again: “this is not just about something that has occurred; this is about preventing a potentially disastrous outcome from occurring next year.”

Watch her full statement:

The Democrats have always been clear. They’ve been eyeing to remove Donald Trump as president ever since he was elected 45th United States president.

Who could forget the “Russian collusion” hoax that took two years and $32 million for Special Counsel Robert Mueller to release the report saying what many already suspected – the Mueller probe was unable to prove anything linking the Trump campaign conspiring with the Russian government to influence the 2016 election.

Dems: no second term for Trump

“We cannot accept a 2nd term for Donald Trump if we are going to be faithful to our Democracy and the Constitution of the United States,” House Speaker Pelosi said.

Pelosi also vowed to fight “on all fronts”to block Trump’s reelection.

“We have to operate on many fronts. We have to operate in the Congress, in the courts, and in the court of public opinion, and we must win the next election,” Pelosi said then.

Clinton added: “If the economy stays in good shape and he’s not impeached, or he’s impeached but not convicted, it’s going to be very, very hard [to defeat him].”
