Im elaine quijano. History will be made this week on capitol hill for only the third time in u. S. History, the house of representatives withhold a vote to impeach the president. Democrats accuse President Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of congress. The president was fighting back on twitter this weekend, again insisting there was no crime. And as Nicole Killian at the white house reports, republicans are joining him in the battle. Reporter the full house of representatives is said to take the final step on impeachment on wednesday, voting on two articles, abuse of power and obstruction of congress. Are you confident you have the majority to impeach the president . I am confident. Reporter the vote is widely expected along party lines, but there could be cracks. You can vote against impeachment and still disagree with some of the policies or some of the behavior. Reporter conservative groups are targeting democrats in 31 congressional districts President Trump won in 2016. The real question is how big will the jail break be by the democrats. Reporter among them, new jersey congressman jeff van drew, a conservative democrat who is expected to become a republican. What he is reacting to is the public polling that shows he cant get renominated. Reporter the senate is getting ready for the president s possible trial expected in january. I am clearly made up my mind. Im not trying to hide the fact that i have disdain for the accusations and the process. Reporter Senate Republicans have been closely coordinating strategy with the white house. We wouldnt be doing our job if we werent working hand in hand with the senate to clear the president of this charade. Reporter but democrats argue that violates their oath of impartiality as objective jurors. Its why im so disappointed in my colleagues. This see no evil, hear no evil attitude, that they dont want to look at anything that mice disagree with their world view of republicanism and this president. Reporter President Trump calls the impeachment process a hoax and vows to win. Meantime cbs news has learned some freshmen democrats are recruiting michigan congressmen. Justin amash to serve as impeachment manager in an impeachment trial. The independent left the Republican Party after saying the president committed impeachable acts. Elaine . Nicole killian, thank you. Its not Just Congress thats divided on impeachment. A new cbs news poll today finds americans are as well. 46 believe the president should be impeached. 39 disagree. And 15 say its too soon to decide. Cbs News Elections and surveys director Anthony Salvanto is in our washington bureau. So anthony, have the impeachment hearings had any impact at all . Not a lot, elaine. You see that speech with certainly more people saying he deserves impeachment than not. But on the abuse of power and obstruction of congress, we find splits, about 5050. Now democrats are certainly in favor and approve of the articles impeachment, but beyond that, not a lot dramatic has changed. It still comes down to whether or not folks approve of the president s job in the first place. And anthony, across the super tuesday states, lets look at the democrats seeking to unseat donald trump. You find joe biden with the edge this week and Michael Bloomberg who just got into the race in 50 place. Any numbers suggest he can catch the frontrunners . He does a little better with people who think the party was moving in too liberal a direction. But thats not a lot of democrats, only about a quarter. He is hoping to capitalize. If democrats come through the earlier states like iowa and New Hampshire and arent satisfied, and half of voters dont know about his past support for dramatic causes. So thats one leading indicator maybe. Well have to watch, elaine. All right, Anthony Salvanto in our washington bureau, thank you.

The rest of the candidates said they would not cross the picket line outside Loyola Marymount university, the site of the debate on thursday. I think its a terrible look for the Democratic Party to have a debate and that runs afoul of union work rules. What do we want . Contract reporter the workers began picketing on campus last month where they serve and prepare the meals. The union says the company that contracts them, sodexo canceled the negotiations. Weve got to resolve the issue, get the wages and health care that the workers deserve. Reporter the union buycott isnt the only national dilemma.

Dnc signaled theyre unlikely to change the rules for january. Dnc chairman tom perez has not yet decided whether hell change the rules for the february and the march debates.

Ian lee, cbs news, london. A student at Texas State University is suing the National Chapter of pi kappa phi after an alleged assault caught on camera. Laura podesta has the violent video. Reporter the video captures the frantic screams of a Texas State University student, the moment he says a group of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity brothers started attacking him. The october incident landed his client in the hospital. He couldnt go to class for weeks. Head injury, spinal injuries, still trying to recover. Reporter he is now suing the local and National Chapters of pi kappa phi. He alleges they have a history of hazing, violence, and encouraging the consumption and overconsumption of alcohol. Things need to change. Reporter fraternities are under the microscope nationwide. At syracuse university, social activities for all fraternities are suspended after members of one were accused of using racial slurs. Earlier this week, police at florida State University arrested four students including a fraternity president in connection to a hazing incident. John heckinger is the author of the book true gentlemen the broken pledge of americas fraternities. He says despite these episodes, fraternities are more popular than theyve ever been, but theyre also feeling pressure to change. I think that sustained outside pressure from cell phone videos, from students speaking out will make a huge difference. Many Fraternity Chapters have responded to a rash of lawsuits that have put them into financial peril. Reporter regarding the alleged attack in austin, Texas State University tells cbs news in a statement as soon as the university was notified of the incident in october, pi kappa phi was suspended.

Dr. Jon lapook tells us about a new drug thats remarkably precise in targeting tumors. Reporter 49yearold Dikla Benzeevi has been living with Breast Cancer for 17 years. As the cancer spread to her lungs, she tried 15 different drugs. Ive had multiple surgeries, spine surgery, lung surgery, breast surgery. I think i counted 2,000 pills. Its crazy. Reporter last year her doctors at ucla Skin Cancer Center suggest she join a trial of a new therapy targeted specifically at ben zeevis disease. Her2 positive Breast Cancer meaning its metastatic, meaning its widely spread. Metastatic cancer today is not curable. 98 of patients who have the disease will get worse or grow, in spite of having aggressive therapies. Reporter her2 gene occurs in about 20 of patients with metastatic disease. Targeted therapies like herceptin often stop working as the cancer becomes resistant. In this trial, the drug for now labeled ds8201 was tested in 184 patients. Tumors shank in 61 and disappeared in 6 . My tumor is stable. There are no new tumors, and its staying stable, which is a good sign. Reporter dr. Ian krop is one of the authors. So this new drug works basically by selectively delivering high concentrations of chemotherapy directly to the cancer cell. Its essentially like a guided missile. Reporter cancer growth was halted for an average of 16 months, longer than what is usually seen with current therapies. Patients were able to get back on with their lives and not have to worry about their cancer so much while the drug was working. Reporter this drug came with serious side effects, including severe lung injury that caused two deaths. So the safety of the drug will certainly be a concern going forward. The fda has decided to fast track the approval process, meaning if all goes well, the drug could become available as early as next year. Dr. Jon lapook, cbs news, new york.

He was the one who did most of the work. But i was happy that i was able to convince him to create this change. Reporter a change aimed at plugging into a greener future. Kris van cleave, cbs news, takoma park, maryland. Next, the changing face of an old christmas tradition. We end tonight with a christmas tradition.

Reporter each year students from the famed school of american ballet star in this annual presentation of the nutcracker. The school was founded by world renowned choreographer George Balanchine in 1994. But for dancers of color, getting there often meant encountering invisible barriers. When you are a minority in any environment, there is an added struggle. Reporter ayesha ash attended the school in the 1990s and performed with the new York City Ballet for more than seven years. She says it was sometimes the small things, like nothing having proper Hair Products or stage makeup that sent a message about whether she truly belonged. I remember the girls that got in with were given many different palettes and things to choose from. And i sort of got a lipstick and that was pretty much it, and maybe a powder. I dont really have much for you. Think about your shoulders, and lift. Repo
