Remarks of Congressman Steven Horsford on H. Res. 24

Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the Article of Impeachment.

Last Wednesday's events were not just a breach of a building, but a breach of our democracy. A threat to our republic and to who we are as Americans.

Donald Trump incited insurrection against America and attempted to overturn the will of the people.

We must send a clear message that committing sedition disqualifies a president from serving another day in office.

I urge this body to vote for impeachment. I would.

Congressman Horsford was the first member of Nevada's congressional delegation to call for the impeachment of Donald Trump for inciting the insurrection of January 6, 2021. He is an original co-sponsor of H. Res. 24.
