Several Republican senators discussed the effect that dual impeachments will have on the likelihood of former President Donald Trump running for president in 2024, with some privately claiming a second impeachment trial is enough to deter him from pursuing office again.

This week, House impeachment managers made their case why the Senate should vote to convict Donald Trump and officially prevent him from running for office ever again, as The Hill reported. They showed video footage of the violence that took place on Jan. 6, including evidence of heroic acts by Capitol Hill Police officers. On the first day of the hearings, Democrats began the trial with a video montage of Trump’s statements before the rioting took place and moments of the violent attack on the Capitol.
