Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick believes this about President Donald Trump: He violated his oath of office. He drove a wedge between Americans with lies.
And his presidential legacy will be inciting an attempt to overthrow the government he was elected to lead.
That said, the Middletown Republican representing a deeply purple pocket of suburban Philadelphia has no regrets about voting a second time against impeaching Trump.

Following narrow victories for Raphael G. Warnock and T. Jonathan âJonâ Ossoff in the runoff elections for Georgiaâs Senate seats, Harvard students met the news of a Democratic-controlled Senate with a mix of elation, regret, and tempered anticipation.

Several Harvard students spent the day celebrating the Senate results, with many in states of disbelief. Anna L. Duffy â21, who worked as a Democratic field organizer in Georgia, said she spent the runoff day celebrating on a call with other campaigners for the Georgia Democrats.
