Trump’s impeachment trial may not result in his removal from office, but it could help determine whether Republicans retain control of the Senate in the November congressional elections.
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial may not result in his removal from office, but it could help determine whether his Republicans retain control of the Senate in the November congressional elections.
Democratic political groups are scouring Republicans’ media appearances for statements about the trial they think may incense some voters, like saying there is no need to call witnesses. Then they are using these clips on social media to solicit donations for Republican opponents. “It could add to their potential problems, if they look like partisan soldiers and not independent, free-thinking senators,” said Stuart Rothenberg, senior editor at Inside Elections.
Now, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which works to elect Democrats, has launched a website to pressure her to vote for more witnesses and evidence, as she did in the 1999 impeachment trial of Democratic President Bill Clinton.
