"There's no chance the President will be removed from office," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Thursday night, vowing he would be "in total coordination" with the White House as he plots the Republican strategy for an seemingly inevitable impeachment trial.
"Everything I do during this I'm coordinating with the White House counsel. There will be no difference between the president's position and our position as to how to handle this," the top Republican in the Senate told Fox News in an interview. "My hope is there won't be a single Republican who votes for these two articles of impeachment."
Americans' support for impeachment against Trump has remained virtually unchanged from last month despite several weeks of public testimony, according to a new Monmouth University poll released Wednesday.
The House Judiciary Committee released a report last week explaining the constitutional grounds for the impeachment, accusing Trump of abusing his office by pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into launching investigations that could benefit Trump politically during the 2020 U.S. elections.
Trump claimed "nothing came out" of his July phone conversation with Zelensky, an episode standing at the center of the impeachment proceeding initiated by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in late September. The White House has refused to participate in the impeachment proceeding, accusing Democrats of an unfair process.
