0:47Now PlayingWhite House Counselor Kellyanne Conway says the expected vote in the US Senate on the articles of impeachment against US President Donald Trump will mean he is "acquitted forever".
A majority of senators have now expressed unease with Trump's pressure campaign on Ukraine that resulted in the two articles of impeachment.
But there's nowhere near the two-thirds support necessary in the Republican-held Senate for the Constitution's bar of high crimes and misdemeanors to convict and remove the president from office.
The outcome expected Wednesday caps nearly five months of remarkable impeachment proceedings launched in Speaker Nancy Pelosi's House, ending in Mitch McConnell's Senate and reflective of the nation's unrelenting partisan divide three years into the Trump presidency.
"I would not be surprised if the opposition to removal of the president is bipartisan. But I think we already know the votes are there to, to. There's no way there's no near 67 votes," said Conway.
"There never was. So then I think other people are left to have to explain why they voted the... why they put the country through this, knowing the outcome ahead of time, what was the point?"
