The Senate will move forward with its trial against Donald Trump when it meets on Wednesday after Democrats, and six Republicans, voted 56-44 Tuesday that impeaching the former president is constitutional.
The Republican senators who voted along with Democrats include Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania voted to move the proceedings forward. Most surprising of the six is Cassidy, who previously agreed with 44 other Republicans that holding the trial would go against the Constitution's intent since he is no longer the sitting president.
Cassidy was straightforward on what swayed him to change his mind: Trump's legal defense. 'Did you listen to it?,' he said to reporters gathered after the vote. 'If you listen to it, it speaks for itself. It was disorganized, random, they talked about many things but they didn't talk about the issue at hand.'
'And so if I'm an impartial juror, and I'm trying to make a decision based upon the facts as presented on this issue, then the House managers did a much better job,' Cassidy said.
