Buffalo, NY (WBEN) The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to impeach President Trump. Political science professors say while this is significant, it was not surprising.
Yacobucci and Wendland both predict an acquittal because there are not enough votes in the Senate to remove Trump. Republicans have a majority and a 2/3 vote to convict is required. Rankin also predicts few defections from either party. "It's not surprising the way it's gone. It feels like they're just going through the motions, and you know they'll vote along party lines," says Rankin.
