Following the Senate vote of 51-49 against calling witnesses on Friday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his Republican colleagues appeared jubilant, while Senate Democrats seemed disheartened.

The narrow vote came after Republican senators asserted that further evidence was unnecessary, moving closer to acquitting President Trump next week.

Donald Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate is now expected to conclude next Wednesday, soon after Trump’s State of the Union speech to Congress on Tuesday.

Two Republicans, Mitt Romney and Susan Collins, aligned with Democrats in their pursuit for witnesses, but their support was inadequate as Republicans held the majority of 51 votes against calling witnesses, while 49 other senators (mostly Democrats) voted in favor.

The testimony of witnesses like John Bolton is crucial for Democrats to substantiate the House of Representatives’ accusations of Trump’s abuse of power and obstruction of Congress by withholding military aid to Ukraine in exchange for investigations into his political rival, Joe Biden.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democrats could be seen visibly upset as they labeled the vote as ‘a tragedy on a very large scale,’ while the Republican senators eventually had the final say.

The Senate Votes 51-49 Against Calling Witnesses in Impeachment Trial, Clearing Trump

Although two Republicans, Mitt Romney and Susan Collins, sided with Democrats in the push for witnesses, the majo...
