Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said that the Senate would have “no choice” but to hold trial if President Donald Trump were to be impeached by the House.

The more than two-thirds of the Senate would have to vote in favor of removing Trump if the House impeached him. Meanwhile, the House would need a simple majority to impeach Trump.
