His eventually obituary, that is how we wrap up our wednesday night broadcast. Thank you so very much for being here with us. Good night from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. It is wednesday, the 18th Of December in the year 2019 and President Donald Trump is impeached. The vote in the House Of Representatives tonight to impeach the president was not close. It was 230 to 197 on the first article, which was abuse of power. One democrat voted present. On the second article, Obstruction Of Congress, it was a vote of 229198, again, with one vote present. These were not slim margins. The successful vote to impeach the president tonight, of course, does not remove him from office. The decision of whether or not to remove him from office will now be made in the United States senate, where hell be put on trial in a proceeding overseen
by the Chief Justice of the United States supreme court. Were talking about that as if it is a forgone conclusion, as if thats the next obvious thing
with the questio, as for his, claims the media, who don t want him to defeat donald, trump polling shows that it s actually a plurality of republican voters who don t. the most cnn polling shows him trailing the former president by 20. porn points van jones and former republican adam kinzinger. can you explain how the media, much of what she does not speak to is to blame for governor desantis s struggling candidacy a among republican voters? anderson, the one thing we have learned, we have learned from donald, trump and everybody else is never ever, this is like the new never ever except blame for anything. it s always, like paris, the fan, and push. off the media is an easy target. he only appears on fox news, or friendly media. he does not come on cnn. somehow, it s the medias fault. to tell you the, truth it s actually wrong desantis s fault because he made a decision, i think this
watch his response here. i guess what i m more concerned about is what did he say to you, number 1, did it begin with an apology for the balloon. chuck, i don t want to characterize what he said. i don t think it s appropriate. i can tell you no, there was no apology. martha: what do you think, sir? the chinese never apologize. the chinese are going to push and push and push. take advantage of every opening that we give them. they have ticket on everyone s phones and they re still shipping ships to us from the chip manager. they re buying farmland next to our air force bases in north dakota and texas. there s no consequence for any of this. they re building a ford motor battery plant in michigan to take advantage of the inflation reduction act so that american taxpayers can subsidize a
that we re now seeing, the power of them to actually enact some of the stuff of the state level. the rubber is made in the, road so to speak. they are going to demand, more because the other co-sponsor of that lindsey graham bill is marco rubio, who s going back to the senate, and they re going to be politically incentivized to go forward, because the people in the antiabortion movement, they don t want to just have a few states that have abortion bans, they want to band period, they are abolitionists in their mind, that s what they call themselves. they re going to push, and push, and push. they re not gonna be satisfied, for people to think this team is now into the cattle, because they finally got row overturned, you re wrong. because think about what they ve, said they ve said that iuds boarded chase. idf s. you think they re gonna stop just because they ve got the supreme court? no. and lindsey graham is the person who has no filter, so you said it allowed, and then put a bill
