Watch Live: Senate Votes On Trump Impeachment

After an afternoon of podium-pounding and bloviating, the US Senate will vote to acquit or convict President Trump at 4 p.m. ET.

Earlier Wednesday, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) broke ranks with his party and said he would vote to convict President Trump on one impeachment charge of abuse of power, calling Trump’s conduct with Ukraine an “appalling abuse of public trust.”

Romney’s decision reportedly surprised colleagues, many of whom expected him to vote to acquit after two other fence-sitting Republicans (Collins and Murkowski) announced they would oppose the articles of impeachment.
