Still undecided on Trump impeachment vote, Manchin calls for censure instead by writerknowles
Sen. Joe Manchin offered a resolution Monday to censure President Trump over his attempts to solicit the announcement of an investigation of his political rival. The move is a possible alternative to conviction on the charges brought by the House against the president. Manchin said he has not yet decided how he will vote on whether to remove Trump from office.
Manchin denounced Trump’s months-long campaign to persuade Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to announce an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, specifically taking aim at the July 25 call between the two leaders.“President Zelensky or anyone else should never feel beholden to the superpower of the world for a favor before it can receive military aid,” Manchin added on the Senate floor. “It’s not who we are as a country.

The fate of Manchin’s resolution, whose passage would require at least four Republican senators to break ranks with the president to join the 47 Democrats, was uncertain. CNN’s Manu Raju noted that the resolution was not “privileged,” meaning it wouldn’t automatically come to the floor for a vote. Raju called the prospect that Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would allow it to proceed “highly unlikely.
