WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's impeachment trial may not result in his removal from office, but it could help determine whether his Republicans retain control of the Senate in the November congressional elections.
For the handful of senators who face tough re-election battles this year, their vote to acquit or convict Trump, or even to call witnesses in the trial, could loom large when voters consider whether to give them another six-year term, analysts said.
Republican strategist James Bowers predicted that the impeachment will play a major role in campaign ads for years.
"We will be seeing the ghost of this impeachment for (election) cycles to come," Bowers said.

I think it'll be good for the next election cycle. Not sure after that.

(10,252 posts)GOP senators are displaying just how corrupt and craven they are. They are willing to slither on their bellies through any pool of Trump slime. Just wait until next Nov, when we the people give those turds the boot.
