As a number of reporters have pointed out, the only Republican senators not listed there are Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski.
Trump tonight praised Republicans for the resolution “condemning the Do Nothing Democrats for their Witch Hunt Impeachment inquiry, behind closed doors.”
I appreciate the support of Senator @LindseyGraham, @SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell, and their Great Senate Republican colleagues, on the resolution condemning the Do Nothing Democrats for their Witch Hunt Impeachment inquiry, behind closed doors….

….in the basement of the United States Capitol! They cannot win at the ballot box. Their sham for the past 3 years continues. The good news is that the American People get it, which will be proven once again on November 3, 2020!
