Notably, Burr did so despite his own belief that holding the impeachment trial was unconstitutional because Trump was no longer in office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhen this process started, I believed that it was unconstitutional to impeach a president who was no longer in office. I still believe that to be the case. However, the Senate is an institution based on precedent, and given that the majority in the Senate voted to proceed with this trial, the question of constitutionality is now established precedent. As an impartial juror, my role is now to determine whether House managers have sufficiently made the case for the article of impeachment against President Trump,\u201d said Burr.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe evidence is compelling that President Trump is guilty of inciting an insurrection against a coequal branch of government and that the charge rises to the level of high Crimes and Misdemeanors. Therefore, I have voted to convict,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Lara Trump, on the other hand, has reportedly been weighing a Senate run since at least November of last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Back in November, both<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/11\/19\/us\/politics\/lara-trump.html#click=https:\/\/t.co\/s4AVxen4dD\"><span>The New York Times<\/span><\/a> <span>and Politico<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/11\/19\/lara-trump-north-carolina-senate-seat-438447\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a> <span>that Lara Trump, 38, was weighing a possible Senate run in North Carolina, where she was raised and attended college. During the 2020 presidential election, Lara Trump served as an advisor to the president\u2019s re-election campaign, and traveled to the state on his behalf.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cShe would be formidable,\u201d Kellyanne Conway, former counselor to Donald Trump, told the Times of Lara Trump running for Senate in North Carolina. \u201cShe has the trifecta: She can raise money, raise awareness of key issues, and raise attention to her race. Unlike many typical politicians, she connects with people and is a compelling messenger.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cShe\u2019s very charismatic, she understands retail politics well, and has a natural instinct for politics,\u201d said Mercedes Schlapp, an adviser to Trump\u2019s 2020 campaign. \u201cIn North Carolina, in particular, she\u2019s a household name and people know her. She worked really hard on the campaign and was very involved in a lot of decisions throughout.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
