Portman verdict in before Trump impeachment trial begins: Not guilty

Rob Portman will listen carefully next month as a juror in the U.S. Senate impeachment trial of the president of the United States.

However, barring the emergence of startling new evidence against Donald Trump, the Republican from Ohio already has reached his verdict— and it's firm: Not guilty.

American voters deserve to make the ultimate call on Trump in the 2020 election, Portman said.

We'll make the ultimate call on Portman in 2022.

but if I'm any indication, the Ohio electorate is much more energized to remove him than in 2016.

It's an uphill battle with so much blood money and support in rural red Ohio, but he's got to go.

They've had trouble in that regard both in Senate and governor's races.
With the exception of Sherrod Brown, of course.

Portman also benefited bigly from the tRump effect in 2016. He might get a mid-term lift in '22 after we retake the White House, but I'd like to think that - to your point - the right opponent could unseat him.

I'll be working to make it a reality.
