House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) both praised Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) for voting on one article of impeachment—abuse of power—against President Donald Trump on Wednesday.
Romney, who voted against the other charge—obstruction of Congress—was the lone GOP senator to vote in favor of either article of impeachment. All Democratic senators voted to convict Trump on both articles of impeachment and no other Republicans broke ranks—with a final tally of 48 to 52.
