U.S. Rep Ted Budd (NC-13) released the following statement after the vote on the House resolution on the impeachment inquiry:

"Today I voted against the House impeachment resolution. Unfortunately, all this resolution does is put a new coat of paint on a biased impeachment process.

"This resolution does not change the fundamental facts about this saga. We have the transcript of the phone call between President Trump and the Ukrainian President. During the call, there was no pressure or conditionality placed on U.S. aid, and both President Trump and President Zelensky have said there was no quid pro quo.

"As much as it pains Democrats in Congress, there is simply nothing here that rises to the level of impeaching a duly-elected president. Quite frankly, it's time for the House to get back to work for the American people instead of working to take out this president."
