Republican officials in Kentucky overwhelmingly rejected a resolution on Saturday calling on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to stand with former President Donald Trump in his upcoming Senate impeachment trial.

The Republican Party of Kentucky’s State Central Committee voted 134-49 against the resolution, deeming it out of order, a member told The Louisville Courier Journal. There are over 350 members on the committee, which consists of chairs and vice-chairs for the dozens of counties in Kentucky, as well as GOP elected officials, but not all were present.
