Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) is uncertain of where Republican loyalty lies after many Republican senators attempted to dismiss President Donald Trump’sImpeachment trial as unconstitutional.
During an appearance on CNN’s “New Day,” host John Berman asked Durbin what the vote told him.
“It appears at least 45 of the Republican senators would rather not go forward with the Impeachment,” Durbin said on Wednesday.
He added, “I can’t say what their ultimate vote will be, but whether it’s loyalty to Donald Trump or fear from his followers, they did not want to take up the Impeachment article that was sent over by the House.”

Berman asked Durbin if the invasion of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 is not “enough” evidence for them to move forward with impeaching Trump, what would be.
