U.S. House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to impeach Trump for inciting his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol last week in a deadly rampage, making him the only President in American history to face being booted from office twice.
After the voting Republican leader Kevin McCarthy said, "I will not support impeachment."
In a statement, McCarthy said that he wouldn't support the impeachment of Trump. "I will not support impeachment," McCarthy said. "It's time for us to heal."
McCarthy represents California's 23rd District in the House of Representatives and serves as the House Minority Leader.
On the other hand, Steny Hoyer, House Democratic Majority Leader, said, "The Constitution leaves us with just one option today -- impeachment."

"The people have spoken, and in November 2020, they will be heard again." -- Nancy Pelosi, House Democratic Majority Leader "We will impeach the President of the United States." -- Mike Pence, Vice President of the United States "I'm going to impeach him. I don't give a shit what you think about it." — Kevin McCarthy, Speaker of the House of Representatives. Donald Trump has been impeached twice by the U.S. House of Representatives, making him the only President in American history to be so booted out twice. After being impeached by a majority vote in an early morning vote Friday on charges including obstruction of justice and abuse of power related to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe and other misconduct allegations, he also faces removal from office if two-thirds vote against him in Senate trial proceedings expected later this year or early 2020. The resolution passed 364-58 after being introduced Wednesday night following Mueller's report finding that Trump abused his powers during his first term as President." A lot has happened over my years here," said Rep Democrat Steny Hoyer (M.D.), who served 14 terms before becoming majority leader last year.
The vote, which was 232-197 for impeachment, is the first time the House has voted to impeach a president twice and comes just a week after President Donald Trump rallied his supporters to march on the Capitol as Congress met to certify Joe Biden's victory in November's election.

The vote came as no surprise because Democrats have been pushing for impeachment since they took control of the House earlier this year. But Republicans say it doesn't make sense because there are no charges against him yet. There have been no charges yet because the Democratic leaders have refused calls from within their party to move forward with an investigation into whether Trump obstructed justice by firing former FBI director James Comey during his probe into Russian interference in last year's presidential election. "There are no allegations of any wrongdoing by President Trump," said Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) during debate on Wednesday evening before voting began Thursday morning." This whole thing is fake news!"
With this impeachment, Trump broke his previous record of becoming America's first president of 2019 to be impeached.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Monday to impeach President Donald Trump for the second time in his presidency. However, this time, the vote passed with 236 votes in favor and 184 against it. Trump's impeachment will be a record-breaking event because he is the only President in American history to be impeached twice.
The House also voted against Vice President Mike Pence's 25th amendment that would remove Trump from office by declaring him unfit for duty in the wake of last week's violent rampage at the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump supporters that left five dead.
