Like that earlier vote, Wednesday’s fell largely along party lines.” Rules call for vote on witnesses but no motion to dismiss. “Language to require a debate and vote on witnesses after the House impeachment managers and Trump’s lawyers have made their arguments was strongly supported by Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who has come under pressure from Democrats.”
