Al Green.* **Scores for the source reporting** (0-100, assessing the original journalism this article was written from, not this write-up): - Trust 42 of 100, higher is better. The central claim is attributed to a named body, and two independent outlets are cited. - Craft 57 of 100, higher is better. The reporting includes the vote count and names the politician who introduced the resolution. - Hype 41 of 100, lower is better. Headlines promise a more decisive outcome than the body of the reporting suggests. Scored by MediaBias News; method at https://mediabias.news/methodology. **The short version** - The U.S. House of Representatives rejected a resolution to impeach President Donald Trump. - The vote count was 232 against 147, with 47 members voting present. - Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) introduced the impeachment resolution, which was related to Trump's immigration enforcement policies. - The resolution was rejected after Republicans made a motion to table it. 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. ## Who covered it Shares of the 12 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 8% (1) - Centre: 9% (1) - Right: 83% (10) 8 of 20 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages. Coverage measured 2026-09-15T23:00:35.204694+00:00. **Coverage watch:** developing. Checked 8 times; 1 check found a material change. Most recently checked 2026-09-15T23:45:37.389Z. ## How the sides framed it ### Left - 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 - 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 - Right-rated outlets led on the vote to reject an impeachment resolution against Donald Trump. They reported the House voted 232 to 147 to table the measure. The Washington Examiner and Fox News noted 18 Democrats voted with Republicans to block the resolution. - Fox News and The Free Press reported that 46 Democrats voted "present." The Free Press also stated that Republican Representative Thomas Massie voted "present" alongside Democratic leadership. - Fox News and The Free Press carried quotes from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other Democrats explaining their "present" votes. These outlets also included statements from Al Green, the Texas Democrat who introduced the resolution. **Provisional coverage gap:** left. The watch is not closed, so this is not yet a settled blindspot finding. ## Factuality profile of the covering outlets These are published factuality ratings of the outlets, not a verdict on whether this story or its claims are true. - veryLow: 1 - mixed: 8 - high: 2 - unknown: 8 - veryHigh: 1 ## Verification scope This page compares coverage and scores the source reporting.
