As Trump's legal team wraps up its opening argument today, we're looking ahead to the next phases of the trial. Here are the GOP senators to watch.
Today will be Trump's legal team's third and final day for opening argument .plan to use all of its remaining time today. But what that means for what’s next is still TBD.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell could move to the next phase of the trial — a question-and-answer period — as soon as the defense team yields back, but that also remains fluid. It will largely depend on how long the White House goes and how senators are feeling about pushing forward.Sen. John Thune told CN the vote on whether or not to proceed to consideration of subpoenas for witnesses and documents will likely take place Friday or Saturday.
Then, there will be four hours of debate, equally divided, between the House managers and White House Counsel on whether to move to consider witnesses and documents. Then the Senate could, technically, move into close session for deliberations, though nobody is sure if that will occur.How that vote comes down dictates your choose-your-own adventure timing for the final vote. If the Senate doesn't vote to have witnesses and documents, the chamber could move on to a final vote ASAP. If senators vote to have witnesses, the trial will continue.
