Burr was one of seven Republican senators who on Saturday joined all 50 Democrats in the chamber in voting to convict Trump of inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol by right-wing extremists and other Trump supporters intent on disrupting congressional certification of President Biden’s election victory. The former president was acquitted as the tally was 10 votes shy of the 67 needed to convict Trump. "The NCGOP agrees with the strong majority of Republicans in both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate that the Democrat-led attempt to impeach a former President lies outside the United States Constitution," the NCGOP said in a statement on Monday night.More Related News
