Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) is working to get support to avoid an impeachment trial for former President Donald Trump but the body’s top Democrat said in a message Wednesday that a trial will definitely take place.
Tuesday’s vote on a point of order declaring the trial unconstitutional because Trump is no longer in office drew support from 45 Republicans, showing clearly the difficulty Democrats would have in trying to convince 17 to join them to vote to convict the former president.
