Fox News
Nearly six in 10 Americans say that former President Trump should have been convicted in his Senate impeachment trial, according to a new national poll conducted after Saturday’s acquittal of the former president.
The former president was acquitted Saturday of one count of inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by right wing extremists and other Trump supporters aiming to disrupt congressional certification of President Joe Biden’s victory in the November election. Trump was impeached by the House on Jan. 13, with 10 Republicans joining all 222 Democrats in the chamber in voting to impeach, and 197 Republicans opposing impeachment. On Saturday, seven GOP senators joined all 50 Democrats in the Senate in voting to convict Trump. While there was bipartisan support to convict the former president, the tally was 10 votes shy of the 67 needed to convict Trump.More Related News
