Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, a Republican from West Virginia, said she will vote to acquit the President. Capito said that the Founding Fathers did not want impeachment to be used as a “blunt partisan instrument.” She said she has “no doubt” that the House impeachment was partisan.
Capito called the House’s case “flimsy” and “rushed.” She added that she thought their case “contained incomplete evidence.” On the question of calling witnesses, Capito said that was a job for the House, not the Senate. She said that “nothing” she heard at trial “comes close” to justifying her overturning the results of the 2016 election.
