House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has named her chamber’s prosecuting team that will make the Democratic Party’s case as to why President Donald Trump should be ousted from office.<\/p>\n

Pelosi named Reps. Adam Schiff (D-California) of the Intelligence Committee and Jerry Nadler (D-New York) of the Judiciary Committee as House prosecutors.<\/p>\n

They will be supported by five managers: Reps. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Sylvia Garcia of Texas, Val Demings of Florida, Jason Crow of Colorado, and Zoe Lofgren of California. The AP\u00a0<\/em>says each manager has legal, law enforcement, and\/or military courtroom experience.<\/p>\n

“Today is an important day,” Pelosi said. “This is about the Constitution of the United States.”<\/p>\n

\n

The appointments mean bettors who owned PredictIt shares of Pelosi publicly announcing the team between January 13-19 are winners. The PredictIt market opened soon after Trump was impeached in December. January 6-12 was the early frontrunner, but Jan. 13-19 had the second-shortest odds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The president will be defended by his White House counsel Pat Cipollone. For a detailed explanation as to how the impeachment trial will proceed in the Senate, visit our article from December 24<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Conviction Odds Long<\/b><\/h2>\n

It’s been 28 days since the House of Representatives voted to charge the president with two crimes<\/a> warranting his removal from the White House. Democrats voted that Trump is guilty of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.<\/p>\n

Not a single Republican voted in favor of either charge. Just five Democratic votes were cast against the charges.<\/p>\n

That’s why the Republican-controlled Senate, which acts as the jury in the impeachment case, isn’t expected to convict Trump on either charge. The GOP holds a 53-seat majority in the upper chamber.<\/p>\n

The PredictIt market asking, “Will the Senate convict Donald Trump on impeachment in his first term?” has “Yes” shares at just nine cents.<\/p>\n

\n

Here we go again, another Con Job by the Do Nothing Democrats. All of this work was supposed to be done by the House, not the Senate!” Trump tweeted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The House is expected to vote to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate today. After the vote, a dramatic procession of walking the articles across the Capitol to the Senate will occur.<\/p>\n

Trump Favorite<\/b><\/h2>\n

Pelosi’s appointments come as the President and China signed the first phase of their trade deal in the White House. The agreement mandates China purchase more than $200 billion worth of American goods and services over the next two years. The announcement sent markets up on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\n

As for November’s election, Trump remains the frontrunner. The market, “Who will win the 2020 US presidential election?” has the President’s shares at 51 cents. Former VP Joe Biden is a distant second at 22 cents. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is third at 20 cents, and billionaire Michael Bloomberg fourth at seven cents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Even when consolidating the Democratic nominees, the market, “Which party will win the 2020 US presidential election?” has GOP shares at 52 cents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
