Separately, he told reporters, “I think there will be enough support on it to show there’s no chance they can impeach the president. If 34 people support my resolution that this is an unconstitutional proceeding, it shows they don’t have the votes and we’re basically wasting our time.”
I’ll be on @FoxNews tonight with @MariaBartiromo at 7 p.m. to talk about the sham impeachment and more. Be sure to tune it!

Senate Democrats need 17 Republicans to convict Trump
The Senate needs a two-thirds majority vote to convict the former Pres. Trump for “high crimes and misdemeanors.” The House of Representatives, controlled by Democrats, impeached the 45th president for the second time. They specifically impeached him for allegedly inciting the U.S. Capitol insurrection that happened on January 6.
Based on the result of the Senate’s vote regarding the constitutionality of the impeachment trial, Trump’s conviction is “dead on arrival.” Take note that Senate Democrats need to obtain 17 additional votes to convict the former president.
