2020. Washington D.C. The Senate Votes to Acquit Trump. (In Progress)
“President pro tempore Patrick Leahy presides over the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump” under public domain by The United States Senate
The Pew Research Center conducted a survey and found that a majority of Americans believed that President Trump's impeachment trial should result in his removal from office. However, this belief was split along party lines, with 91% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents supporting removal, while 85% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents opposed it.
On February 5, 2020, the Senate voted to acquit President Trump of the charges brought against him by the House of Representatives, marking the end of a months-long impeachment process. The Senate acquitted Trump on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Utah Senator Mitt Romney was the only Republican to vote in favor of convicting Trump on the abuse of power charge.
The Senate's decision to acquit Trump was met with mixed reactions. Some Republicans praised the decision, while Democrats expressed disappointment and frustration. Vox published an article arguing that the Senate's decision was undemocratic because the majority of Americans wanted Trump removed from office, but the Senate, with its Republican majority, did not reflect this view. The article also criticized the Senate for not allowing witnesses and evidence to be presented during the trial.
