Washington (CNN) The Democratic congressman who unsuccessfully pushed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump said Thursday he will try again, despite desires from party leadership to move on.

"It absolutely is not" the last impeachment attempt Rep. Al Green of Texas plans to make, he told CNN's Kate Bolduan on "At this Hour."

On Wednesday, the House easily killed Green's effort to impeach Trump after the Texan was able to force the vote under House rules. The vote amounted to the most direct challenge yet to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has resisted progressives' calls to impeach Trump out of concern that such an effort would be dead on arrival in the Republican-controlled Senate and would embolden Trump's 2020 reelection message.

The 332-95 vote divided Democrats, with 95 -- a little more than 40% of the Democratic caucus -- voting against tabling it, or voting to keep it alive. There were 137 Democrats who joined all Republicans in voting to defeat the measure, which Green said was focused on the President's "bigotry and racism."

On Thursday, Green acknowledged the fact that Pelosi doesn't want to move forward with impeachment proceedings, but said, "we have different paths."
