At 9:30am tomorrow morning, on the Senate floor, I will speak about House Democrats’ precedent-breaking impeachment of the President of the United States.
U.S. President Donald Trump was
impeached today when the House passed both articles of impeachment: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
The Senate will weigh if Trump should be removed from office.
But
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said that Some progressives have urged Democratic leaders to withhold the articles until Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell agrees to procedures for the Senate trial that Democrats have called for, as well as agreeing to bring in firsthand witnesses like acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney to testify.
Pelosi said Democrats will make the decision “as a group” on when to send the articles to the Senate.
During the Trump's campaign rally speech in Michigan on Wednesday night, President
said: "With today’s illegal unconstitutional and partisan impeachment, the do-nothing Democrats are declaring their deep hatred and disdain for the American voter," Trump said in Michigan after being on stage for about an hour.
"After three years of sinister witch hunts, hoaxes, scams, the House Democrats are trying to nullify the ballots of tens of millions of patriotic Americans," he said.
Trump likened the
impeachment proceedings to a "political suicide march" and said he would prevail in the end.
