The Second Impeachment Trial of President Donald J. Trump

The Senate Trial

On January 13, 2021, President Trump became the first President in American history to be impeached for a second time.  The matter was then handed to the U.S. Senate where a trial was conducted to determine whether the President should be convicted and removed from office. 

The Most Bipartisan Impeachment in American History

A bipartisan coalition of 57 Senators vote to convict Trump ...

... but the House Impeachment Managers were unable to secure the 67-vote supermajority necessary to secure a conviction in an impeachment trial.


Following the vote, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell gave a speech acknowledging the former President's responsibility for the mob that overran the Capital on January 6, 2020, but explained that he voted to acquit Trump on the grounds that he didn't believe the Senate had the power to try a President once he's left office.

How did your Senators vote?
