that's not "distracting from impeachment" that's giving members in tough districts the ability to go to their constituents and say that they know the populist concerns that motivated those voters who went for Trump then them from 2018 and say, "Just because I have come to the belief that Trump has committed impeachable offenses and have voted accordingly doesn't mean I'm rejecting the populist ideas that drew you to him in the first place, see, I have also been addressing those too, you're not forgotten" they don't want to be left out there alone to be annihilated in unfriendly territory and Pelosi (and the party as a whole) has an interest in trying to protect the majority as best as they are able within reason.

It's disarming (to what level of success I question) the incoming attack that impeachment is Democrats ignoring/forgetting/rejecting the populist economic concerns that many voters in these districts had.

and/or they genuinely believe in the policy given there is a bit of spectrum of thought on free/fair trade on the democratic side. See: Sherrod Brown, some of Warren's trade rhetoric, etc.
