We're getting this at the last possible day, the last possible minute, knowing that there's other steps to go through, the timing is not right that you've taken as long as you possibly could.

Joe Manchin

I don't think that's a fair evaluation of saying we are going to spend X amount of dollars but then we are going to have to depend on coming back and finding more money... I'm concerned about paying down debt too.

Schumer said. ROMNEY ANNOUNCES HE WILL VOTE TO CONVICT TRUMP IN IMPEACHMENT TRIAL Republicans had long-predicted a bipartisan acquittal, but the last-minute decision by the three robbed Trump of that talking point. With Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, defecting from his party and voting for guilt on one article of impeachment, it was Democrats who celebrated bipartisanship. The vote created a bipartisan impeachment that can never be erased from history, Schumer said. Democrats touted the party unity and praised the House impeachment managers for making a convincing case. There was a bipartisan vote -- even though it wasnt two thirds -- that found President Trump guilty, Stabenow said. Every single Democrat plus one Republican.

We should vote again on Chief Justice John Roberts being able to determine who is pertinent... if Hunter Biden is one of the people who is pertinent to the evidence or to the trial, then absolutely.

West Virginia's fine with me, if they let electronics in, if we have cell phones or anything electronic, we'd be all there paying attention to that and not paying attention to what's going on, just like the kids do.
