McConnell Will Move to Acquit Trump



 Political Wireby Taegan Goddard
( I'm just spitballing here, but wouldn't acquittal have to be by a 2/3 majority, just like conviction? )

“Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is expected to hold a final vote to acquit President Trump should he be impeached, when a majority of senators believe his trial has run its course instead of holding a vote on dismissing the articles of impeachment,” CNN reports.

“That’s significant, because Republicans want to have a vote on acquittal — to clear the President of the charges against him — not simply rely on a 51-vote threshold procedural motion to dismiss the hotly disputed case.”
