Impeachment 2: 232-197 - a podcast by Sam Rippon and Chern Han Mah

This slightly extended episode of the all-new international politics podcast focusses on the the second impeachment of Donald Trump, and takes a more broader look at the impact of Trump on the Republican party as his administration comes to an end. The episode also takes a look at the recent Canadian Cabinet reshuffle, and the collapse of the Dutch and Estonian Governments in what has been a very busy week for European politics.

Just a few days after the US House voted 232-197 to impeachment the 45th President for inciting an insurrection against the US Capitol, Sam and Chern look at the fallout from this result and why members voted the way they did. Why did 10 Republicans vote to impeach a Republican president? How will the Senate trial pan out? Is Mitch McConnell really about to vote to convict Donald Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors? As the Republicans look ahead to years back in Opposition, the episode also looks at the impact Trump has had on the party for four years and what they might do next. Will Trump's grip on the party diminish? Is he the frontrunner for the 2024 primary? What has been Trump's legacy on the Republican party?
