Senate GOP Confident They’ll Have Votes to End Trial

“Senate Republicans have regained their footing and are once again pushing for a quick end to President Trump’s impeachment trial, newly confident they can squash the question of whether to hear new evidence,” Politico reports.

“The GOP conference emerged cautiously optimistic from a critical meeting on whether to defeat the call witnesses on Tuesday afternoon, the first real chance for GOP leaders to conduct a survey of where the 53-member conference stands. The meeting marked the caucus’ first gathering since Trump’s defense finished its opening arguments on the Senate floor.”
