The House Did It's Job, Now The Senate Must Act Immediately

Statement of Rahna Epting, Executive Director of MoveOn, on the House impeachment vote:

"Donald Trump is now the first president in history to be impeached for attempting to violently overthrow our government. We applaud the House for taking swift and bipartisan action to hold him accountable for his deadly actions. But our nation is not safe from Trump further turning the power of the presidency against the U.S. government so long as he is in office.

Statement of Rahna Epting, Executive Director of MoveOn, on the House impeachment vote:

"Donald Trump is now the first president in history to be impeached for attempting to violently overthrow our government. We applaud the House for taking swift and bipartisan action to hold him accountable for his deadly actions. But our nation is not safe from Trump further turning the power of the presidency against the U.S. government so long as he is in office.

"The white nationalist forces Donald Trump incited into deadly violence against our democracy last week are plotting more attacks right at this moment. The House has done it's Constitutional job, now the Senate must do theirs without any delay. Donald Trump is our nation's greatest national security threat. Every moment he spends in office puts the nation at further risk. Mitch McConnell should call the Senate into immediate session and remove Donald Trump from office before he can do further harm."
