Senate Acquits Trump on Both Impeachment Articles
The Senate acquits Trump 52-48 on abuse of power (with Republican Senator Mitt Romney voting guilty — the first senator in US history to vote to convict a president of their own party) and 53-47 on obstruction of Congress. All Democrats vote guilty on both counts. Trump's approval rating remains steady throughout. Trump delivers a State of the Union the day before, refusing to shake Pelosi's hand; she tears up his speech.
