Sen. Susan Collins — seen as a swing vote in President Trump’s impeachment trial — said Tuesday she supports acquittal, further reducing Democrats’ chances of obtaining a bipartisan guilty vote in the Senate. AdvertisementHer announcement probably leaves Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah as the only remaining GOP senator who has been noncommittal about whether to convict Trump. The speeches, aimed at the television cameras in a largely empty chamber, replace the four days of closed-door deliberations that occurred during the Clinton impeachment trial. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who suggested last week that she was still weighing her vote, said Tuesday that the Senate must convict Trump. “Even a single vote by a single member can change the course of history,” he said in his closing remarks.
