Former President Donald Trump faced his third indictment on Tuesday, this time for more serious crimes. The seven GOP senators who voted to convict Trump showed great courage by defying their party leaders, including Mitch McConnell. Although Republicans may not discuss the vote often due to its divisive nature, one of the seven senators, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, has recently reaffirmed her belief that she made the right decision. She stated that she initially voted to impeach Trump in 2021 based on clear evidence that he attempted to overturn the election results. The other six Republicans who voted to convict Trump in 2021 were Richard Burr, Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Mitt Romney, Ben Sasse, and Pat Toomey.
