45 GOP Senators Voted To Dismiss Impeachment Trial

The video discusses a recent vote in the Senate where Senator Rand Paul challenged the constitutionality of a trial, seeking its dismissal. The vote resulted in a 55-45 split, with 45 Republicans supporting Paul. However, this does not necessarily predict the final vote outcome on acquitting or convicting former President Trump. Senator Rob Portman emphasized that the two votes are distinct, and the initial support for Paul does not guarantee a vote to acquit Trump.
