Power Up: Republican rift widens over Trump impeachment Jacqueline Alemany On the Hill
HERE WE GO AGAIN: House lawmakers will tonight deliver to the Senate a single article of impeachment against former president Donald Trump, alleging “incitement of insurrection” in a trial set to start Feb. 9. The delay may help President Biden confirm some of his Cabinet nominees.
But it s also exposing a widening rift in the Republican Party that Trump still controls in absentia from his Mar-a-Lago country club.
Shot: “It is pretty clear that over the last year, there has been an effort to corrupt the election in the United States, and it was not by President Biden, it was by President Trump,” Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), the only GOP senator to support convicting Trump the first time, said Sunday.
