What did Trump’s 2nd impeachment accomplish?

Over the course of a, House impeachment managers laid out the case that Trump was directly responsible for the deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol carried out by a mob of his supporters. Trump’s attorneys countered by arguing that his baseless claims of election fraud were protected by the First Amendment and that the Senate lacked the constitutional authority to convict a president who was no longer in office.

Several GOP senators cited the latter argument in explaining their decision to acquit. Senate Minority Leadersaid Trump was “practically and morally responsible” for the violence at the Capitol in a scathing speech following the final vote, but said he voted “not guilty” because he believed it would be unconstitutional to convict a former president.

Many on the right argue that the impeachment was purely a political stunt and served only as a platform for Democratic grandstanding with little consequence. Others have criticized Democrats for strategic mistakes — like the decision not to call witnesses — that they believe played into the view of impeachment as a partisan showcase, rather than a true effort to uncover the truth about Trump’s role in the riot.

Ivanka Trump won't challenge Marco Rubio, but speculation remains about Trumps' ambitionFormer President Donald Trump is still eligible to run for the White House for a third time in 2024. How embarrassing that it’s even plausible that she’d win an election of any kind. Sad. I hope princess Ivanka realizes republicans have no respect for women, as much as they will use her for her name they will never honor her or elect her 'Her brother, Donald Trump Jr., is seen as a possible presidential candidate in 2024. He remains a popular figure in the Republican Party and unlike his father, he still has access to social media.'
