House Republican calls for Donald Trump to be removed via the 25th Amendment
Even as Mike Pence settles for leaking stories about how his feelings are hurt because Donald Trump is being mean to him, the pressure is mounting on Pence to take real action. Several Democrats, including incoming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, are now calling for Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment. Now a House Republican is joining those calls.
House Republican Adam Kinzinger posted this video today, calling for Trump to be removed via the 25th Amendment:
It’s with a heavy heart I am calling for the sake of our Democracy that the 25th Amendment be invoked. My statement: pic.twitter.com/yVyQrYcjuD

We don’t expect many (or necessarily any) other House Republicans to join Kinzinger in calling for Trump’s immediate removal. But even the fact that one House Republican is on board does place additional pressure on Mike Pence to pull the trigger.
