Senate Republicans, who loathe the president’s tweeting, are hoping that when impeachment comes to the Senate, Trump will do something out of character: Stay quiet.
Senate Republicans can theoretically control President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. But there’s one thing they have no power over: Trump’s itchy Twitter fingers.
Trump has not exactly hid his feelings about the House impeachment proceedings, often tweeting that it’s “phony” and a “hoax.” The president even posted tweets attacking several witnesses who testified during the House’s impeachment inquiry. And if he continues the barrage during his impeachment trial in the Senate, it could derail the Senate GOP’s strategy, annoy undecided senators and end up hurting his efforts to win unanimous acquittal from the Republican Party.
With the House impeaching Trump Wednesday, the Senate will likely take up an impeachment trial in early January. It will be the first time the Senate holds an impeachment trial in the age of Twitter and social media — and with a president who can provide real-time commentary while senators are confined to the Senate floor.Senate Republicans have complained for four years about Trump's tweets.
