As the House of Representatives vote on impeachment against US President Donald Trump is scheduled to take place as early as the 13th (local time), attention is focused on whether the impeachment bill can cross the threshold of the Senate, divided between both Democratic and Republican parties.
Given that the Democratic Party dominates the House of Representatives, the House Democratic Party is expected to pass the House Democratic Party’s impeachment bill, asserting President Trump’s responsibility to incite the civil war. 218 people have already participated in the impeachment bill as co-sponsors.
The Washington Post, however, cited six Senate Republican aides, saying that while Republicans are outraged about President Trump’s role in the congressional intrusion, they won’t throw enough votes to pass the Senate.
According to this, the aides predicted that although Republican senators’ votes in favor of the Republican senator could come out more than when the impeachment was promoted in late 2019, they will not receive enough votes to pass the Senate. At least 17 churns must be issued to pass the Senate. In the last vote, only one Senate Republican voted in favor of the impeachment prosecution.
When a request for impeachment of the president is raised, the House of Representatives passes the proposal for impeachment to the Senate with a majority consent, and the Senate proceeds with a ballot after proceeding with an impeachment trial. The presidential impeachment bill is passed with more than two-thirds of the 100 members of the Senate, or 67 or more.

“The timing seems to be a real problem,” an aide said. “If the impeachment ballot had been held last Wednesday night (when the congressional violence occurred), 80 votes would have been received.”
He said the proposal to hand over the impeachment bill to the Senate after the first 100 days of Joe Biden’s administration “feels like a trick.” Earlier, Democrat Jason Crow (Colorado) proposed to address the impeachment bill after the Senate has completed the security-nominee approval process to address the domestic terrorist threat.
He predicted that in 100 days the Republican Party would have a more urgent priority. “The Democrats should have adhered to that throughout the weekend and voted as soon as possible. It was a huge tactical mistake for them.”
Another Republican adviser predicted that only lawmakers who did not consider running in the future would vote in favor. The third aide expressed concern that the impeachment would “make President Trump look pitiful,” and that this would mobilize his supporters against the Republican Party.
The WP introduced the remarks of senator Joe Manchin (West Virginia, Democratic Party), saying that the Democratic Party’s promotion of impeachment by the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives is “careless,” saying it was questionable whether the Democratic Party would all agree on the impeachment proposal.
However, the situation may change if new disclosures continue to be revealed, citing sources that some senators are watching how persuasive the impeachment proposal and allegations of impeachment will be.
The first aide said that if one of President Trump’s staffs publicly confirms that President Trump “rejected the use of state defense forces after the invasion of the Capitol, and senior White House staff intervened in the military mobilization,” it would be easier for lawmakers to vote in favor Said it would.
