Donald Trump is now facing an impeachment trial in the Senate after the House of Representatives voted on two charges against him. As his future in the office remains a big question, the POTUS gets a lot of support from the people of Michigan.
About 5,400 people gathered at Kellogg Arena to show their support for the world leader. Some donned red and green clothing, while others opted to wear a Santa Claus costume or suits that featured Donald Trump's image. Of course, the red Trump t-shirt and ball caps would never be gone.
As it was the first time that a U.S. president visited Battle Creek since George W. Bush in 2004, state Rep. Matt Hall, R-Marshall, said their community celebrated his visit, per USA Today. He said Donald Trump never forgot the places like Calhoun County, where there were a lot of blue-collar workers who all supported him.
At the time, no one was worried about the impeachment debate. They even called it a "coup attempt" against the president. Jonda Sewell believed it would not get passed the Senate, while the crowd chanted for four more years for Donald Trump to take the presidency.
Another supporter by the name of Troy Wilson said that the impeachment would only help Donald Trump win the next presidential election. Aleshia Kieboom also added that the vote against the president only united his supporters toward a common goal. "Everybody is united for a common cause. To vote again for Trump-Pence 2020," she said.
Donald Trump becomes the third U.S. president in history to face an impeachment trial after the House voted on two charges against him. The first charged was due to his abuse of power, while the second one was the obstruction of Congress.
According to BBC, almost all Democrats voted for the charges, while every Republic was against it. However, as the Republicans control the Senate, it is most likely that he will never be removed from his seat.
Hence, Democrats are now worried about the way the trial would be held. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi now assumed that the political party might delay sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate to bargain the proceedings.
This may result in putting off the trial for indefinite time that may deny Donald Trump's acquittal. Anyhow, the former television personality remained defiant. He said that the "radical left in Congress is consumed with envy and hatred and rage," while he was busy creating and fighting for Michigan.
