She needs (at least) 165 more. I believe Pelosi has decided to allow all her members (plus any Republicans) to decide for themselves, and to respond to their constituents' desires, for or against, impeachment.

It will require more evidence from the ongoing investigations to convince 165+ more members to vote for articles of impeachment. Pelosi cannot magically begin the process on her own.
