one answer today from a key district in michigan whose freshman democrat alyssa slotkin declared in favorf impeachment today. >> i will be voting yes on obstruction of congress. now, obviously i know and i can hear that this is a very controversial decision and i knew that. and all i can ask from the people who are listening is that while we may not agree, i hope you believe me when i tell you that i made this decision out of principle and out of a duty to protect and defend the constitution. >> joining me now to sort all this out, this is happening in realtime guys, this is nbc news correspondent kristin welker, ashley parker and karen tomoti. alyssa slotkin facing that live town hall meeting that's still going on right now hearing from the voters. we don't know whether this was prefabbed. we don't know whether this was involved because some of those signs looked like this was some kind of group effort. let's talk about how tough this is for some of these democrats. this is what nancy pelosi was concerned about going all the way back. krist kristen, you know the white house sb couis coun

a key sign today, one freshman democrat, a swing democrat from michigan, alyssa slotkin who had previously opposed moving forward with an impeachment inquiry but got behind an inquiry in the aftermath of the ukraine revelations announced today that she would vote for both counts of impeachment and we expect others in similar p predicaments also to come down along those lines. we do expect at least two defections on the democratic side and including one democratic member, jeff van drew, who's indicating he will switch parties in the aftermath of the backlash he's receiving back home and the questions over whether he can win re-election. we expect those defections to happen. on the republican side, justin amash is expected to support those two counts, those two articles of impeachment, so expect mostly along party lines a handful of defections, but that historic vote expected to succeed as we get prepared for that critical vote on wednesday. some procedural matters will occur including a rules committee hearing tomorrow that will set the parameters of that floor debate. expect everything to

alyssa slotkin saying, i don't care if this costs me my seat.i have to do. congressman jolly? >> so one of the pressures, the very real pressures -- it's a conversation for another day, is on the funding of campaigns. van drew is probably looking at a $2 million to $3 million. where does that money come from? there's not the independent flow of money, which is why van drew has to go to donald trump to say do you have my back if i move? slotkin has to think about that as well. at the end of the day nancy pelosi has tried to guide this in a way that provides insulation and protection for her democrats in trump-leaning districts and there may be some casualties as a result of this. but it is important, as democrats continue to say, to vote your conscience. republicans continue to shred at the process and they are tearing down more than just the impeachment process in 2019. they're tearing down, shredding at the congress by delegitimizing this process. democrats at least are upholding the process and their responsibilities and willing to accept the

what does your reporting indicate about the decisions that people like alyssa slatkin, kendra horn and others have come to on this vote? >> you know, i think they really did wrestle with their consciences and that these are members who resisted impeachment all the way through this year. they did not want to do this at all. they came here saying they were going to work in a bipartisan way with this president. they won election in districts that he won. but to a person, they have concluded that the evidence is really overwhelming and that they can't ignore it. and it's been interesting, several of them have said to me, including alyssa slatkin, that if the voters choose not to return them, so be it. she said she will have gone out with her head held high knowing that she acted out of principle and not out of political calculus. so i think they really are taking this vote very seriously, and let's face it, this is not a good vote for them. this vote can hurt them politically and cost them their jobs and they know that going in. >> yeah, i mean, it's -- that i think is true. there's very l
