Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, a moderate Republican senator up for reelection in 2020, said she would vote to acquit President Trump on both articles of impeachment
Collins was one of two Republicans who voted last week to call witnesses and seek documents in the Senate impeachment trial, in a vote that failed 49-51. But she said she would vote against removing the President over the House's articles of impeachment when the Senate votes on the final verdict Wednesday.Collins said that the President's actions in asking Ukraine to investigate his political rival were"improper and demonstrated very poor judgment.
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, another closely watched moderate Republican, announced on the floor this week that she would vote to acquit the President. Murkowski criticized all sides in the explanation of her vote, calling Trump's conduct"shameful and wrong" but concluding that the House"failed in its responsibilities" by rushing to impeach the President. And she said the Senate"should be ashamed by the rank partisanship that has been on display here.
