The results were clear when the U.S. Democrats initiated impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump on two charges - but four MPs did not vote for the president's impeachment on one or both of the points.
On Wednesday evening, a large majority of the Democratic party in the House of Representatives decided to charge the president for abuse of office in Trump's Ukraine affair and for obstructions to parliamentary investigations.
The most prominent dissent in the vote was Tulsi Gabbard. She represents the State of Hawaii and is a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. She only voted "present" in both votes, so she refrained from declaring for or against Trump's impeachment.

Tulsi Gabbard
Gabbard is not very promising in the democratic field of applicants, but has drawn attention to himself with his Russia-friendly positions and strategy as a loner.
Two other MPs voted against impeachment on both counts, including Jeff Van Drew, who had previously announced that he would move from the Democrats to the Republican camp because of the impeachment process. Looking to Trump, he said: "To be honest, his chances in the 2020 election are now even higher."

Apparently worried about his seat: Collin Peterson from Minnesota says his voters are not interested in the impeachment
Minnesota-born Collin Peterson, elected in a constituency that voted for Trump in the 2016 presidential election, said his voting behavior was “no crime committed” by the president. Most people in his constituency are also not interested in the question of impeachment.

Jared Golden, freshman MP, ex-marine and only one point for Trump's impeachment
Jared Golden, an ex-elite soldier and a state MP from Maine, votes "yes" to abuse of office, but "no" to hinder the investigation.
On Tuesday, Golden said it was clear that Trump had crossed a "clear red line" by asking Ukraine to help him win the reelection. "There is no doubt that this was an act that requires impeachment," said Golden.
