Dan Goldman Pushes New Trump Impeachments While Trailing Brad Lander by 20 Points
3 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 27
More than 20 points behind Brad Lander, Rep. Dan Goldman is centering his re-election bid on fresh Trump investigations and possible impeachment rather than shifting away from the message that first lifted him to office.
May 18 marked his latest escalation: Goldman argued Trump’s $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund could justify impeachment, while also saying he and Rep. Jamie Raskin would lead probes into Trump and cabinet officials if Democrats retake the House.
Lander is pressing a different line of attack, portraying Goldman as an out-of-touch heir to the Levi Strauss fortune worth more than $200 million who is trying to buy the race by matching donations with his own money.
The contest in New York’s 10th District is emerging as a test of whether anti-Trump outrage still works for establishment Democrats as the party’s New York base shifts toward more explicitly socialist, bread-and-butter politics.
