Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), one of the House impeachment managers, described the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump as a “dramatic success.”

Raskin said on Sunday that the second impeachment was the “ largest impeachment conviction vote in U.S. history,” coming after seven Republicans joined Democrats in the Senate to convict Trump in a 43-57 vote. During Trump’s first impeachment, only one Republican senator—Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah—convicted the then-commander-in-chief.
