witnesses may make it harder for them to actually acquit him. now, one person to watch is senator joanie ernst. she s got a tough re-election battle back home in iowa. when asked about witnesses at the senate trial she told nbc news this. don t like it, let s shorten this. i think pretty much everything we need to know is all right there in the house, we ll hear about it in the senate, and i think just dragging this out is not going to do us any favors one way or another. as for a start date for the senate trial, majority whip john thune says january 6th is probably quote a good bet. a group of five moderate democrats who flipped their districts from red to blue in 2018 have announced plans they vote to impeach president trump tomorrow. those democrats include congresswoman alisa slotkin of michigan and south carolina, and mcadams of utah and abigail stanberger of virginia and andy
