In an interview released Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told the Washington Post that impeaching President Trump is "just not worth it."

"Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country. And he’s just not worth it."

Why it matters: Pelosi’s comments — which mark the most definitive public stance she's taken on impeachment — will certainly rattle rank and file Democrats, especially progressives and party activists who have been calling for impeachment since the day they took back the House in the 2018 midterms.
