McConnell Miscalculated GOP Impeachment Count

“Mitch McConnell thought the Jan. 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol would finally vanquish Donald Trump, initially predicting that at least 17 Republican senators would vote to convict him in his impeachment trial, barring the former president from running again,” McClatchy reports.

But he was wrong and didn’t even vote to convict Trump himself.

Said McConnell, as quoted in This Will Not Pass: “I didn’t get to be leader by voting with five people in the conference.”
