president donald trump has been acquitted or both charges in his senate impeachment trial but he ends to only the 3rd such trial in american history he was facing charges of abuse and presidential powers and obstruction of congress one republican broke ranks but it wasn't enough to see trump removed from office id joe castro reports from washington d.c. . it is therefore the outcome was as expected donald trump be and he is here by acquitted of the charges in said articles donald trump only the 3rd u.s. president to be impeached now also the 3rd u.s. president to be acquitted the white house called it full of vindication and exoneration mr romney all but one republican senator loaded not guilty on both articles of impeachment the lone defector was mitt romney the utah senator who in 2012 with the republican presidential nominee my faith is at the heart of who i am romney said in an emotional floor speech his conscience was more important than party loyalty he voted guilty an abuse of power what he did was not perfect no it was a flagrant assault on our electoral rights our national security and our fundamental values a few other republicans said they believe what trump did was wrong but didn't rise to remove all from office others blasted the democrats' efforts to remove the 45th us president i worry about the future of the presidency after what's happened here ladies and gentlemen you will come to regret this whole process all the democrats voted to convict trump on both charges they voice disappointment after his acquittal but did not admit defeat may yet face further investigation in the democrat controlled house and make no mistake about it the drip drip drip of evidence is going to keep coming out with each new revelation the message to the house of representatives. don't do this again. now with the impeachment officially behind him trump can spring toward the november election whether all this has helped him or hurt him as a candidate is the big question castro al-jazeera washington. correspondent christian salumi has visited the swing state of pennsylvania which helped secure drums victory in 2016 many there say the stronger economy could put him on a strong footing in november's election. here in small town america you didn't need a psychic to predict how democrats would react to the failed attempt to impeach the president i believe the impeachment was called for. and it's unfortunate that the witnesses were not allowed to testify. but this is the city of new hope in the swing state of pennsylvania. a republican say that that you know impeaching trump would further divide the country but letting him get away with what he's gotten away with it divides the country also. and this sleepy town where the 1st president of the united states george washington camped with his army during the american revolution is tired of politics said i'm not a republican and i didn't vote for john but i'm just sitting here and just trying to get him out you know tell me something that you going to do for the country and even those who don't like the president aren't exactly pleased with the democrats have yet to see i think true leadership come and say ok well here's a here's an option that you can grab on to a lot of the people we spoke to here in new hope say they just don't know who to believe when it comes to politicians but with the wages rising and unemployment falling the strong economy could favor donald trump who won pennsylvania in 2016 by less than a percentage point so i don't think. the charges that they put together were worthy of impeaching a president. they had you vote for him yes they would and i voted for clinton the last time but some people who voted for trump the 1st time around say he needs to clean up his act but he keeps door to door right now as far as the economy and and trying to help our country vote form again. he needs to really stop some of the silliness that he does and concentrate on his job with so much drama in d.c. there seems little hope here of bringing the 2 sides together any time soon chris and salome al jazeera new hope pennsylvania. well the democratic party has begun the
