McConnell Flashback: If House Acts on Impeachment, Senate Must Have Trial *Updated* From Gateway Pundit: This item has been corrected to show that McConnell spoke to NPR months ago, not Friday — The Associated Press said in its correction. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) several months ago said that if the House of Representatives were to impeach President Trump, the Senate “has no choice” and would have to go to trial right away. McConnell previously told NPR that “if the House were to act, the Senate immediately goes into a trial.” In order for the Senate to convict President Trump, 20 Republican Senators would have to vote to impeach Trump along with the 47 Democrats (including Independents who caucus with Dems) in order to reach the 2/3 majority. At the time of this publication, 12 House Democrats do not support impeachment proceedings. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/09/mcconnell-if-house-impeaches-president-trump-senate-must-have-trial/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=the-gateway-pundit&utm_campaign=dailypm&utm_content=daily
