Thin on the left so far
Only 1 of the 6 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.
This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted to reject a resolution that would have initiated impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. The measure was introduced by Representative Al Green, a Democrat from Texas, and concerned Trump's immigration enforcement policies. The House voted 232 against 147 to reject the resolution, with an additional 47 members voting present. Republicans made a motion to table the resolution, which effectively ended the impeachment effort.
Disagreement on vote count
Reports differ on the exact number of members who voted present. While LaPresse, vz.ru, and CBS News state 47 members voted present, The Washington Post digest indicates the vote was 232-147 without specifying the number who voted present. BizToc and Washington Examiner digests report 18 or 64 House Democrats voting to block the impeachment, but do not provide a total vote count for those present.
What the coverage left out
None of the right-rated digests mention the specific immigration enforcement policies that Rep. Al Green cited as the reason for the impeachment resolution. The Washington Examiner digest also does not specify the immigration policies.

How each side covered it
Our own reading of the reporting listed below, written from the outlets’ articles rather than quoted from them. The reasoning is set out on our methodology page.
Left
1 rated outlet
- The Washington Post's digest led on Democrats helping to turn back the impeachment resolution. It noted that Rep. Al Green introduced the measure without the backing of his party's leadership.
Centre
1 rated outlet
- CBS News' digest reported that the House killed Rep. Al Green's resolution to impeach Trump, stating that Republicans made a motion to table the resolution, effectively killing it.
Right
4 rated outlets
- Right-rated reports focused on the rejection of the impeachment resolution and highlighted the role of Democrats in its defeat. The NRCC's full report framed the event as a preview of a "Democrat majority" delivering "endless impeachments, manufactured chaos, and a smokescreen for their far-left socialist agenda." NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella was quoted as saying, “This is the Democrats’ full agenda: Impeachment, Obstruction, Socialism, Repeat.” vz.ru reported that 232 members voted against the resolution, stating the House of Representatives was controlled by Republicans. The Washington Examiner digest stated that "Eighteen Dems block Trump impeachment from coming to House floor," and that 18 House Democrats voted with "nearly every single Republican" to block the articles of impeachment. Fox News reported that "64 House Democrats help Republicans kill Trump impeachment effort."
Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover House Rejects Trump Impeachment Resolution?
- Of the 6 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 17% are rated left, 16% are rated centre, 67% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 11. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is House Rejects Trump Impeachment Resolution left or right?
- Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 6 of them do, and this site does not characterise a field under 12: at that size one newsroom filing moves the share by ten points. The percentages above are the count as it stands.
- Is the coverage of House Rejects Trump Impeachment Resolution biased?
- House Rejects Trump Impeachment Resolution is one event reported by 11 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with. A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.
- Which side is not reporting House Rejects Trump Impeachment Resolution?
- When we first saw this story, outlets rated left had barely covered it. Coverage accretes for hours after an event, so that is where to look rather than a verdict — the split above is the current count, and it is the one to read.

- The resolution was introduced by Representative Al Green, a Democrat from Texas. It was related to President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement policies.
- How did the House vote to reject the resolution?
- Republicans made a motion to table the resolution, which is a procedural move that effectively kills the measure. The House then voted on this motion, resulting in the rejection of the impeachment attempt.
