Vermont's governor has become the first Republican chief executive to support impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump but cautions that he wants to know more before any further actions are taken.
Gov. Phil Scott said at a news conference Thursday that he wasn't surprised by the allegations that Trump repeatedly urged Ukraine's president to "look into" Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden because he's "watched him over the years."
Other moderate Republican governors have yet to weigh in on an impeachment inquiry.
When pressed by reporters, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said Wednesday he was withholding judgment. Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan have yet to comment.
Scott has been a frequent critic of the president.
