Congressman Jared Huffman, the U.S. representative for our North Coast region, was interviewed this morning on CNN, where he predicted that Republican support for President Donald Trump will start to waver in the ongoing controversy over the president’s July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“I think with this latest scandal, with this betrayal of his office, this gross abuse of power that involves our national security, you should see some cracks emerging in that cult of Trumpism,” Huffman said.

Huffman has been advocating impeachment for months, though many of his Democratic colleagues in the House were reluctant until an anonymous whistleblower’s complaint became public earlier this month.

Here he is on CNN:
