Pence Takes Post-Acquittal Victory Lap In Pa.

CAMP HILL, Pa. (AP) – Vice President Mike Pence made a swing through Pennsylvania into a post-acquittal victory lap. He roused a crowd of hundreds on Wednesday barely an hour after the Senate rejected articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. Pence, appearing in a suburban Harrisburg hotel ballroom, delivered a standard campaign speech, but injected it with notes of victory and finality. He says Democrats tried to impeach Trump because they know they can’t defeat him in November’s election. Trump was the first Republican presidential candidate since 1988 to win Pennsylvania, and the state is expected to be a premier battleground in this year’s election.
