WASHINGTON – The start of public impeachment hearings in the House this week are likely to push the race for the White House into a new phase, testing whether Democratic efforts to investigate President Donald Trump risk hurting the party in the 2020 election.

Democratic front-runner Joe Biden will also be a central figure in the proceedings, which will challenge his political resilience. And six senators in the running, including top contenders Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, will be jurors in a trial that may force them off the campaign trail at a crucial moment.
