An impeachment trial of Donald Trump isn't about removing him from the presidency – his term ends Wednesday, either way.
It's about preventing him from seeking the presidency again in 2024.
Several senators, including Republicans, have noted that if they vote to convict Trump of inciting last week's attack on Congress, they could then vote to bar him from future public office, effectively nixing another presidential campaign.
"If the president is convicted, there will be a vote on barring him from running again," said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., soon to be the new Senate Majority Leader.
Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the chamber's top Republican, made clear he is considering conviction, opening the door to an effective ban on Trump within the Republican Party. --->READ MORE HERE
A national poll, that was conducted earlier this week, shows a large percentage of supporters of President Donald Trump wanting him to run for second term in 2024.
The Axios-Ipsos poll, of over 1,000 adults surveyed, showed 92% of President Trump's current supporters wanting him to run as the Republican-nominee for a second presidential term in 2024.
If President Trump did run for president a third time, he would join a rare group of candidates who have run for president more than twice. In addition, if Trump was elected to the presidency in 2024, he would join Grover Cleveland as the second person to serve two non-consecutive terms as president. Cleveland served as the 22nd and 24th President of the United States in the 1880s and 1890s. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to More polls:
