House Speaker Nancy Pelosi won't likely begin impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, even though she's facing growing pressure from Democrats, as she doesn't see it as a "winning strategy," Sen. Kevin Cramer said Tuesday.
"She has done a pretty good job to this point of feeding that beast, while at the same time trying to be relevant, but it is about time for her to just cut off the nonsense," the North Dakota Republican told Fox News' "America's Newsroom."
If Pelosi doesn't stop members of her party from pushing ahead with impeachment proceedings, the Republican-controlled Senate will drop the measure, Cramer added.
Instead, it would be better for moderate Democrats if Pelosi would start "doing something for them."
"She has a group of 30 to 40 Democrats that I like to say are from Normalville, USA, the moderates that won the tight races in swing districts and they need to have a victory or they won't be re-elected," said Cramer. "She has to get to that point and start doing something for them.
The best opportunity to do that is through ratifying the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement."
The pact, said Cramer, is "good for the country, really good for the world, and good for her party as well as President Trump. To me, that's her moment. That is the policy that I think presents the best opportunity for her."
