Senate Democrats are coming around to the awareness that impeachment is not a bad thing for them, and might even help bring back control of the Senate. And, yes, as Markos points out, it is driving one particular demographic into play: suburban white women, the ones who went for Trump and Republicans in 2016. Trump is underwater with white women 52-45, according to Civiqs' ongoing survey, and they support impeachment.
But here's another point of focus for Democrats when it comes to with white women: guns.
There's something really interesting happening there. The jump in support for gun control laws came right after El Paso and Dayton in August and it's ... stayed there. After all the previous mass shootings, it would jump up, then fall back down again once the horror subsided. It's not falling this time, even after the 10,000 crazy things Trump has done that have dominated the airwaves.
That's good news for Senate Democrats, and bad news for Senate Republicans—especially two of them who are running for re-election in 2020: Cory Gardner in Colorado and Thom Tillis in North Carolina. That's because both of those guys got illegal campaign contributions from the NRA in their 2014 campaigns, according to an FEC complaint.
Trump, Russia, guns, and the NRA: It's all one big ball of wax that Republicans—but particularly those two—are wound up in. There's nothing Democrats need to fear about putting the fight right there, because the group that's moving—white women—is moving right along with them.
