The House voted Wednesday to impeach President Donald Trump for a second time in a swift and bipartisan condemnation of the President’s role inciting last week’s riot at the US Capitol. “We know that the President of the United States incited this insurrection, this armed rebellion against our common country,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on the House floor ahead of the vote. No hearings have been held.”The division within the Republican Party starkly contrasts the House Democrats’ 2019 impeachment of Trump, when House Republicans were united in opposition. For House Democrats, the disagreements that divided their caucus on impeachment in 2019 simply never materialized. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said late Tuesday the House would send the articles to the Senate immediately.
