The Pennsylvania House is poised to impeach Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, as Republican legislators push to remove the twice-elected prosecutor whose progressive policies they blame for fueling record levels of violent crime in the city.

The Republican-led House, using a simple majority, could impeach Mr. Krasner, a Democrat, as early as Wednesday morning. If it does, the next step would be a trial in the GOP-led state Senate. Conviction and removal from office would require a two-thirds majority. It is unclear when a trial might be held.
