Ex-Senator Who Voted To Impeach: I’m Voting Trump

Spectrum News reports:

Former Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., says he plans to vote for former President Donald Trump this November, even though he voted to convict Trump at his second impeachment trial. Trump’s second impeachment trial, which was held in early 2021, ended up isolating Burr from a large part of the Republican Party.

Despite Burr’s tense relationship with his party, he still identifies as a Republican and plans to vote for Trump in November.

“Maybe someone will have a hard time squaring with it. I don’t have a hard time squaring with it because I firmly understood why I voted for impeachment. And l like I said, that’s not a disqualifier as to whether you can serve. It’s a bad choice I thought a president made one time,” Burr said.

Read the full article. Trump’s second impeachment was in response to January 6, which apparently was just a “bad choice.”
