The House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald Trump on Wednesday. The impeachment is for "incitement of insurrection", according to Business Insider. This is regarding his role in catalyzing a deadly siege of the US Capitol on January 6th. This secondary impeachment is the most bipartisan impeachment vote in US history. One Republican voted to impeach Trump the first time. Ten house republicans voted to impeach Trump this time.
The House of Representatives impeached President Donald Trump on Wednesday. Having been previously impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress related to the Ukraine scandal, he's the first president to be impeached twice. Trump was impeached for 'incitement of insurrection' over his role in triggering the violent siege of the US Capitol on January 6. Five people died in the riot. According to Business Insider, ten Republican lawmakers broke ranks to vote with their Democratic colleagues to impeach the president. The final vote was 232 in favor of impeachment and 197 against.
On Wednesday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said President Donald Trump was complicit in the Capitol siege. McCarthy also rejected conspiracy theories about antifa involvement. Business Insider reports that McCarthy further emphasized that President-elect Joe Biden was legitimately elected. The House GOP leader said he opposes impeachment but supports the resolution to censure Trump. "The president bears responsibility for Wednesday's attack by mob rioters."
Business Insider reports that five House Republicans support impeaching President Donald Trump over the Capitol siege. Most Republicans are pushing against it. They are arguing that it would further divide the country. "This will only bring up the hate and fire more than ever before," one House Republican said on Wednesday. But multiple polls show a majority of Americans support the House impeaching Trump and the Senate removing him from office.
Republican Rep. John Katko of New York made a statement Tuesday afternoon. He said he will vote to impeach President Donald Trump, says CNN. This makes Katko one of the first Republicans to sign on to the Democrats' efforts. Democrats aim to hold the President accountable for his role in the storming of the US Capitol. His words are cited as spurring his supporters on to commit violence resulting in 5 deaths. House Democrats are now moving rapidly toward impeaching Trump for a second time.
