On the 5th (local time), the U.S. Senate voted 52 to 48 to reject the impeachment charge of abuse of power against President Trump.


Although the Republican Party holds 53 senators, a majority in the Senate, Senator Mitt Romney expressed support for impeachment, but it was proven impossible to secure the 67 senators needed to convict.



The Senate proceeded to vote on the second impeachment charge of obstruction of Congress, but it is also certain to be rejected.
