Hey everyone. I'm David Chalien, the CNN political director. This is the Daily D.C. impeachment watch.

Every weeknight, we delve into this consequential moment in American history by bringing you the very latest reporting and analysis.

This morning, the House Judiciary Committee approved two articles of

impeachment. Take a listen to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler.

Today is a solemn and sad day. For the third time and a little over a century and a half,

the House Judiciary Committee has voted articles of impeachment against

the president for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The House will act expeditiously.

Thank you. The question, of course, is, now what?

I'm thrilled to have two knowledgeable guests to help me make sense of the days and weeks ahead.

In a few minutes, we'll be talking with CNN Crime and Justice reporter Caitlin Polance.

She'll have an update on the role of the courts are playing in impeachment.

But first, I'm joined by my esteemed colleague CNN chief political correspondent Dana Bash.

Dana, thank you for being here.

Hi, David. Hi. So. I'm so bored. There's nothing going on. I know. It's a really quiet time here in Washington.

Everyone's just like in the holiday lull. Yeah. I feel two things simultaneously on a day like today.

I get the sense of the big historic moment, and yet because of the way our

modern politics are and the way it plays out, there's something less than dramatic about it

all, even though we're talking about the fourth time in history reaching this moment.

It's anti-climactic and climactic at the same time.

Yeah.

Does that even make sense?

But that's, I think, in keeping with our politics right now and our discourse right now, the tribal sense of where we are.
