TRUMP NOT GUILTY TRIAL

Toomey, whose state of Pennsylvania was at the center of several of Trump's false election conspiracy claims, said, “As a result of President Trump’s actions, for the first time in American history, the transfer of presidential power was not peaceful.' Murkowski, who Trump had already vowed to campaign against, is up for re-election in 2022. Romney, the lone Republican to cross party lines and vote to convict Trump in his first impeachment trial, isn't up for re-election until 2024, while Sasse, Cassidy and Collins were all re-elected to six year terms in November. Two of the Republicans who voted to convict, Burr and Toomey, are not running for re-election. 'It is so pathetic that Senator McConnell kept the Senate shut down so that the Senate could not receive the Article of Impeachment and has used that as his excuse for not voting to convict Donald Trump,' Pelosi said. It should be a weight on their conscience today, and it shall be a weight on their conscience in the future,' he said in a speech on the Senate floor.

TRUMP NOT GUILTY TRIAL

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called Saturday's vote “the largest and most bipartisan vote in any impeachment trial in history,' but noted it wasn't enough to secure a conviction. And that each of us has a duty and responsibility as Americans, and especially as leaders, to defend the truth and to defeat the lies.' That violence and extremism has no place in America. The president added that 'this sad chapter in our history has reminded us that democracy is fragile. 'Even those opposed to the conviction, like Senate Minority Leader McConnell, believe Donald Trump was guilty of a 'disgraceful dereliction of duty' and 'practically and morally responsible for provoking' the violence unleashed on the Capitol,' Biden's statement read in part.
