WASHINGTON _ Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has spent the last several months contending with bickering colleagues, a volatile president, procedural landmines and a Democratic minority working relentlessly to punish Republicans at the polls this November.
On Wednesday, the Kentucky Republican could finally claim victory _ for his president, for his party and for himself.
The Senate voted to acquit President Donald Trump on two articles of impeachment. McConnell only lost one Republican vote, Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, on the "abuse of power" charge.
