If you have a job and negotiate what you are supposed to efficiently, then you get to keep your job. That's the benefit to you.

Like do me a favor.
there’s a real likelihood that biden also receives something of personal value, when he used a quid pro quo with ukraine.

you’re twisting yourselves into knots trying to differentiate what trump did from what some democrats did.

and if the standard is you can’t do anything that helps you win the next election ( which is what you’re saying trump did), then they all should have been impeached. they all put pressure on others to get results they think will help them
get re elected.
