Donald Trump Becomes First President to Get Impeached Twice, Losing Stranglehold on GOP

President Donald Trump often cites the historic nature of his presidency and on Wednesday he made history by becoming the first president to be impeached twice.
The House of Representatives impeached Trump on Wednesday and unlike in 2019, when no Republicans voted in favor of impeachment, this time around members of the president s own party joined Democrats in voting against him. While the goal of both Trump s impeachments has been to remove him from office, Democrats will need to get Republican senators on board to oust the president from office during the final days of his term.
Trump is on the verge of being impeached for a second time in a fast-moving House vote, just a week after he encouraged loyalists to “fight like hell” against election results.
