by Countable's Trump Impeachment Coverage | 2.3.20

What's the story?

House managers and President Donald Trump's defense team are presenting their closing arguments Monday in the president's impeachment trial.
After four hours of closing arguments today, the Senate will enter a non-trial session that will continue through Wednesday. The non-trial session will allow senators to give speeches on the floor weighing in on the trial and explaining their forthcoming YEA or NAY votes.
At 4 p.m. EST Wednesday, the impeachment trial will resume for a final vote on the conviction or acquittal of President Trump.
House managers have been arguing that the Senate should convict Trump on two articles of impeachment: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Some Republicans are conceding that President Trump may have withheld Ukraine aid in exchange for investigations but that this is not an impeachable offense.

Where are we now?

What do you think?

Contact your reps now, and tell them if you want them voting YEA or NAY on convicting Trump. Also let them know if it will affect your 2020 vote. Then share your thoughts below.
