Trump is on a roll now, India needs to cash in

Deccan Chronicle  

President Donald Trump’s triumph appears total after the collapse of his impeachment trial in the US Senate, leading to his acquittal Wednesday night. President Trump’s victory in the Senate trial was a foregone conclusion with its Republican majority standing firm behind their leader. While President Trump got an overwhelming majority of Republican votes, the Democrats’ vote was split, with Pete Buttigieg securing an unexpected 26.2 per cent share, Bernie Sanders 26.1 per cent, Elizabeth Warren 18.2 per cent and Joe Biden trailing with just 15.8 per cent. While President Trump might have been acquitted in the Senate impeachment trial and is pushing ahead with a popular tailwind, it does not mean that the fundamental churnings within American society and politics have ended.
