Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), in a new ad, said that the effort to impeach President Donald Trump will fail “with me as majority leader.”

If the House approves articles of impeachment against Trump, the Senate can take up the measure. The House would require a simple majority to impeach while the Senate would need at least 67  senators to vote to remove a president.
