Summary

WASHINGTON – The impeachment trial may be over, but the fallout is not.President Donald Trump’s acquittal Wednesday on two impeachment articles formally ends a four-month saga that threatened to end his presidency and stoked partisan divisions in Congress and across the country.The Senate voted 52-48 to acquit Trump on the charge of abusing his power and 53-47 on the obstruction of Congress count, handing him a victory that will enable him to finish his first term and energize his reelection campaign as he asks voters to give him another four years.But the impeachment drama could have a lasting impact on Trump and other players:Trump can, and in all probability will, celebrate his acquittal on the campaign trail.He has bellowed for months that Democrats used impeachment to try to overturn the 2016 election because they can’t beat him at the polls."They can't win an election, so they're trying to steal an election," Trump said during a campaign rally last month in New Jersey.Expect to hear more of that argument as he makes what is essentially an impeachment victory lap at campaign appearances across the country.Even post-acquittal, Trump will carry the stain of impeachment. His vote to convict Trump on both impeachment articles sends that chance "to zero-point-zero percent,” Jennings said.Impeachment concerns:GOP senator 'disturbed' by McConnell's 'total coordination' with the White House for impeachment trialHouse Democrats haven’t heard the last of impeachment either.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., resisted efforts by some in her party to impeach Trump but finally allowed an impeachment inquiry following reports that Trump had held up millions of dollars in security aid in order to pressure Ukraine to investigate the Bidens.To Republicans, hers is the face of the Democratic-led impeachment – and one that will appear in campaign ads in congressional districts across the country as the GOP tries to win back the House majority in November.“House Democrats risk a voter backlash due to the perception that they invested their entire majority on impeachment, getting almost nothing else done," Mackowiak said.Pelosi and other impeachment leaders such as Rep. Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, represent solid Democratic districts and are not in danger of losing their seats in this fall's elections.Other Democrats could have a tougher road to November.Thirty-one Democrats represent districts that Trump win in 2016.
