With Democrats taking the calling of witnesses off the table, there’s nothing else keeping the Senate from voting whether to convict former President Donald Trump with incitement of insurrection. Here’s how it’s going:

Final Senate vote 57 guilty, 43 not guilty. Trump is acquitted.
— Byron York (@ByronYork) February 13, 2021
And the vote is 57-43. Trump is acquitted after Democrats fail to get the 2/3 majority votes necessary to convict.

Senate acquits Donald Trump with 7 GOP defections, an outcome everyone knew would happen. The media narrative these past five days has been starkly different than the political verdict, given the two-thirds constiututional requirement
