Episode 5: It’s Physics: The Longer the Impeachment, the Slower the Velocity of Change

The House of Representatives impeached Donald Trump for the second time on January 13, 2021, one week before his term expired. The adopted article of impeachment, "incitement of insurrection," alleged that Trump incited the storming of the United States Capitol on January 6, and referenced his January 2 phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger seeking to find votes to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

In this episode, we discuss the impact of Trump’s impeachment on the implementation of President Biden’s policy priorities and identify what’s on the horizon for the Biden-Harris Administration.
