  • The Democrats approve the impeachment against Trump: what is the next step?

"Presidential harassment." That is how Donald Trump woke up the day after the House of Representatives approved Wednesday to put him on political trial, making the businessman the third president in US history who will face an impeachment in the Senate, although he has very few options to prosper, will mean a stain in your file.

" Last night I was accused by the Democrats , who will do nothing without the votes of a single Republican, giving continuity to the greatest witch hunt in the history of the United States," Trump wrote on Twitter, from where he took the opportunity to launch new attacks against the opposition, with special mention to the president of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, for leading a "pathetic farce" that will end up paying at the polls when November arrives.

For the president, what happened in Washington will mark the beginning of what he called the "political suicide" of the Democratic Party, as he was responsible for haranguing that same night before his followers during a speech he gave in Michigan, one of the states considered hinge in the 2020 elections, from where he followed the results of the vote in the Capitol.

The truth is that Donald Trump's ego is touched after the impeachment , and so the White House spokeswoman seemed to recognize him yesterday. "The president has repeatedly said that this was not something he necessarily wants on his resume," Stephanie Grishman admitted to the Good Morning America program cameras.

Shameful episode

From the White House they qualified the vote of the House of Representatives, in which the two articles of impeachment that accuse Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress were approved, as one of the "most shameful political episodes" in history. "Their antics make it clear that Democrats do not know what the Americans need, a Congress that works for the people, " Grishman's office said.

The question now is not to know what will happen to the political trial, because no one doubts that the president will be acquitted by the Senate, since that chamber is controlled by his Republican allies, but to venture who will benefit from this process. And that's where the strategies of both sides come into play once again so that the impeachment continues to dominate the political agenda.

The Democrats, led by Pelosi, sit with the pan by the handle and have threatened to delay the process to try to extend the deadlines and cause the most political damage before the election date. A tactic that Republicans see as a "constitutional extortion," according to Senator Lindsey Graham, one of Trump's most fervent supporters.

The reality is that the impeachment continues to polarize American society and, according to a new poll published by the NBC channel, supporters and detractors of the political trial are in a technical tie , with 90% of Republicans who refuse to dismiss the president and 83% of Democrats in favor of truncating their mandate. But for Trump to be convicted it would take 20 of the 53 Republican senators to break with his party and vote with the Democrats, a scenario that seems impossible considering that conservatives have closed ranks around the president and not one of his legislators voted on Wednesday in favor of the political trial, while there were three Democrats who changed sides.
