GOP Rep. Ratcliffe: ‘I’ll Be Surprised’ if ‘Less than Six’ Democrats Defect on Impeachment

On Monday’s broadcast of Fox News Radio’s “Brian Kilmeade Show,” Representative John Ratcliffe (R-TX) predicted that “between six and ten” Democrats will defect on the impeachment vote and said he’ll be “surprised” if fewer than six defect.

Ratcliffe responded to a question [relevant exchange begins around 10:30] on how many Democrats he thinks will defect on the impeachment vote by stating, “I think somewhere between six and ten.
