Iran Press/America: One day after the Senate acquitted former President Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial, Republicans continued to diverge in what the future of their party should be, with a chasm widening between those who want nothing to do with the former president and those who openly embrace him.
The division is playing out as Trump promises a return to politics, and as both factions, within the GOP vow, they will prevail in the 2022 midterm elections.
Senators voted on Saturday night on whether to convict Trump. He was acquitted of inciting insurrection.
A two-thirds majority of the 100 US senators - 67 - was required for a conviction, and Democrats fell short of reaching that bar. In total, 57 senators voted to convict, and 43 voted not guilty.
The court formally acquitted Trump over his actions on January 6.
