Political Rewind: Expediency And Fallout After 2nd Impeachment Trial
Monday on Political Rewind: the fallout from the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.\n\nFew were surprised when Trump was acquitted over the weekend. But the trial did come with some last-minute drama. The Senate took an unexpected vote to allow witnesses on Saturday morning, only for Democrats to abandon that path hours later in the interest of a speedy conclusion to the trial. What motivated the shift?\n\nMeanwhile, the 43 Senate Republicans who voted to acquit provide a glimpse onto the hold that the former president continues to have on the party.\n\nAlso, Gov. Brian Kemp is working to reframe himself as the vaccine governor.
