January 11, 2021

Oregon's U.S. senators, Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, have both called for Trump's removal from office, as have U.S. Reps. Earl Blumenauer, Suzanne Bonamici and Peter DeFazio, all Democrats. U.S. Rep. Kurt Schrader, also a Democrat, announced on Jan. 9 that he would support impeachment. A day earlier, he publicly apologized for comparing impeachment to a lynching during a Congressional call.
