WASHINGTON - Today, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.) voted to impeach President Donald J. Trump for incitement of insurrection. The House voted 232-197 to impeach Trump, making him the first president in the history of the United States to be impeached twice. 

“One week ago, violent rioters, inspired and incited by the President of the United States, stormed the Capitol in an attempted violent insurrection. While I have long believed that Donald Trump is unfit for office but the attack of January 6th displayed that he represents a clear and present danger to our country. His actions were so egregious and dangerous they demand the most serious response afforded to the Congress under our Constitution, delivered as swiftly as possible. Today, I voted to impeach Donald Trump because our nation cannot afford to have him in office another day longer. Before our country can reach reconciliation, we must recognize our truths. Before we can heal and unite, we must require accountability. The rioters tried to shake us, but they did not break us, and today, in the cathedral of our democracy that those rioters stormed, we voted to hold Donald Trump accountable.”
