Manchin Calls House Democrats’ Push To Impeach Trump ‘Ill-Advised’

House Democrats are planning to vote to impeach President Donald Trump as they are accusing him of inciting the violent mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol.

During an appearance on Fox News’ “Special Report,” Sen. 👤Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) was asked if he believes there is a chance enough senators will vote to convict and remove the president from office.

“I don’t see any of that,” Manchin said as he explained, “Because there’ll be still 48 Democrats until we seat Warnock and Sen. Ossoff. So, until that happens, you need 67 votes. I think my arithmetic that means we 19 Republicans. I don’t see that. And I think the House should know that also.”

He continued, “I think this is so ill-advised for Joe Biden to be coming in, trying to heal the country, trying to be the president of all the people when we’re going to be so divided and fighting again.”

Instead, he argued lawmakers should let law enforcement officials investigate the storming of the Capitol and prosecute those who were responsible.

He also claimed Congress could “do later if they think it’s necessary.”

However, Trump is slated to leave office on January 20, after President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in. That has raised questions
