Trump has been impeached a second time

Democrats have impeached President Donald Trump for a second time following the events of January 6, 2021, when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol as Congress was trying to certify the election of President-elect Joe Biden.
House Democrats introduced an article of impeachment against Trump on Monday, January 11, accusing him of &ldquo;incitement of insurrection&rdquo; for his role in fomenting the deadly occupation of the Capitol. The impeachment vote occurred two days later on January 13, passing with a bipartisan vote of 232-197.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that even though Trump has just a few days left in office before Biden&rsquo;s January 20 inauguration, she said &ldquo;any day can be a horror show&rdquo; with Trump in office.
Ultimately, the Senate &mdash; which acquitted Trump in his first impeachment trial in 2020 &mdash; will decide whether to convict the president. Though the 10 GOP House members voting to impeach have already made this round a more bipartisan impeachment, there&rsquo;s no guarantee that trend continues: No senators have yet said they plan to vote to convict.
Still, Democrats say they must move forward with the only tool they have to punish the president: impeachment.
