WHAT NOW FOR DONALD TRUMP

For more on, what’s next, we turn to our capitol hill, correspondent, Casey hunt, and Casey the president releasing that conciliatory statement was no accident. He knows he has a hundred jurors in the united states senate now watching his every move. How much do you think these next few days, his final days in office, dictate whether Republicans stick with him or not? I think it could mean everything Savannah and that’s part of why Mitch McConnell, saying he’s open to conviction is so important because it puts the president on notice if he incites more violence, if he doesn’t toe the line, try to calm the nation down, he stands a very real chance of being convicted of in

citing insurrection and then ultimately being barred from ever holding federal office again Savannah. Well, when you put up the senators and you look at it and there are 50 Republican senators they’d have to pick off 17 Republican senators, and when you start going individually who’s up for an election. What states are they from? That is a very high number to reach. Realistically. Is there? Is there a chance of conviction in the senate? It is a very high bar Savannah again. I think it really depends on how the next six days go. It also depends on what Mitch McConnell decides to do. If he decides to vote to convict it’s very likely. He could take more of these senators with him. I also think you’re going to see a continued debate here about what happened on Wednesday. We could learn more about the attack and remember what Kevin McCarthy did in fact say. The president bears some responsibility, he’s of course, the leader of House Republicans, someone who has previously been a staunch defender of Republicans, and while Liz Cheney, who voted to impeach, the president has faced some backlash from the most pro-trump members in the house. She’s also got uh. Some defense from others who say that voting her conscience was most important here. This issue is still so incredibly emotional walking into the capitol seeing national guards members asleep on the floor. That’s what’s confronting these senators every day and it’s it may have an impact as we go forward here, Savannah all right. Well, we can see the divisions are real within the Republican party as well now Casey. Thank you very much.
