Gabbard faces heat back home for present vote on impeachment

Long-shot presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is facing some heat in her heavily Democratic home state of Hawaii for voting “present” on two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. Kai Kahele, a Democratic state senator who is running to succeed Gabbard in Congress, said the vote left their congressional district voiceless. “You don't get a participation trophy for voting 'present' on one of the most crucial votes taken this Congress,” Kahele said on Twitter.
