.....I suspect there are a couple of things that have changed the democrats' position:
a) the accusation involves dirt-digging about Joe Biden, a potential Democrat nomination (be a bit embarrassing if he was selected and lost, and they hadn't reacted now).
b) the narrative is considerably more simple to follow than any of the complex accusations that have gone before (cf Mueller, etc.). "He asked a foreign power to spy on one of our senior politicians, for purely political reasons".
I'm not at all sure that they will ultimately attempt to press ahead with impeachment (or indeed, that politically they want to). What they do want, however, is Trump as "damaged goods" before the presidential election next year.
