Democratic senator says it s disappointing after source says McConnell will vote to acquit Trump
From CNN s Adrienne Vogt
Sen. Bob Casey, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, said it s “disappointing” that Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell has told his colleagues he will vote to acquit former President Trump in the Senate impeachment trial, according to a source.
“It is disappointing obviously that we don t seem to have more Republicans wanting to hold the formerPresident accountable. But I guess it’s not surprising,” Casey said.
As Casey told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that he was sitting in President John F. Kennedy’s old Senate office, he said, “I hope, that after the closing arguments, there will be more profiles in courage. We ve had a few of those on the Republican side. We ll see what happens.”
