Bloomberg News reports:
Democratic Senator Joe Manchin said he’ll vote to convict Trump on both articles. “The president is not entitled to act with blatant disregard for an equal branch of government or use the superpower status of the United States to condition our support of democracy and our allies on any political favor,” Manchin of West Virginia said in a statement. Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona plans to vote to convict Trump on both charges, the Arizona Republic reported. Sinema had been one of the last undecided Democrats before Wednesday’s vote.
