U.S. Rep. Ted Budd (NC-13) released the following statement after the Senate voted to acquit President Trump on both articles of impeachment:
"I'm glad that after the Senate conducted a fair trial, they decided not to short-circuit the 2020 election. The voters should choose whether or not President Trump remains in office, not politicians in Washington. Now we can finally put this sorry spectacle behind us and get back to work for the American people."
