Former U.S. President Donald Trump will not be convicted in a Senate impeachment trial, but after that, a fight over the direction of the Republican Party will begin, said Professor Selber, founder of the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies at American University.
I don’t think Trump will be convicted in the Senate impeachment trial,” he told Russia’s TASS news agency, who studies presidential power in the United States.
Asked how a Trump impeachment trial would affect the Republican political future, that is, his plans to possibly run for president again, Selber said the answer was “more complicated.
Selber noted that Trump and his supporters are dividing the Republican Party. There will be a battle of lines in the Republican Party, and the outcome is unclear. The polarization and populism will continue for some Time.
The U.S. Senate will hear Trump’s impeachment case on the 9th and decide whether to convict him.
