Summary

SectionsTVFeaturedMore from NBC Follow NBC News WASHINGTON — The build-up to Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial, which begins Tuesday, has focused on the former president’s words on Jan. 6, as well as whether it’s constitutional to impeach and try a former officeholder.But those discussions so far have overshadowed a more central question to the trial: Did Trump use his platform — and powers — as president to try to overturn an election he clearly lost?Consider these Trump actions in the days and weeks after news organizations declared Joe Biden the winner:“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them,” Trump said.“Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated.”Much of the story of the two months after the election was about state officials and the courts not following through with want Trump wanted.What turned out to be different about Jan. 6 was that some people finally followed through.56 percent: The share of Americans who say former president Trump should be convicted in the Senate, per a new ABC-Ipsos poll.27,115,843: The number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in the United States, per the most recent data from NBC News and health officials.
