The final vote was 232 to 197, with 4 members not voting. The article reprimands the president for “incitement of insurrection.” Democratic leaders in the House plan to immediately send the article to the Senate, but Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Wednesday he would not call a special session to hold a trial. Any impeachment action in the upper house will take place during the opening days of the Biden administration.
Instead, McConnell urged GOP senators to focus on “facilitating a safe inauguration and an orderly transition of power to the incoming Biden administration.”
