The House of Representatives is voting to impeach Donald Trump for a history-making second time, after a mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol the same day he called for them to join him in fighting against the results of the November election he lost.
“The president must be impeached, and I believe the president must be convicted by the Senate, a constitutional remedy that will ensure that the Republic will be safe from this man who is so resolutely determined to tear down the things that we hold dear, and that hold us together,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said during the debate.
