Feb. 14, Washington: Donald Trump will be able to run for the White House again in 2024 after the US Senate acquitted the former president of inciting the deadly January 6 riot at the Capitol.
The final vote followed a chaotic morning in which the Democratic impeachment managers backed down on an unexpected plan to extend the trial by calling for witnesses to testify before the Senate.
The Senate voted 57-43 to convict Trump, with seven Republicans joining all 50 Democratic senators in declaring Trump guilty of inciting insurrection.
Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Pat Toomey, Ben Sasse, Bill Cassidy and Richard Burr were the seven Republicans who voted to convict Trump. At Trump’s previous impeachment trial last year just one Republican senator, Romney, voted for conviction.

Biden White House seeks to turn page on Trump after impeachment trial
Feb. 14 - WASHINGTON - The end of former President Donald Trump's impeachment trial opens a new chapter for his successor in the White House.
