Utah's senator announced just ahead of the Senate's vote on the two articles of impeachment. He voted to convict Trump of abuse of power while acquitting the president of obstruction of Congress.
Romney explained his decision, saying that Trump is "guilty of an appalling abuse of public trust," while going on to claim that "there is no question in my mind that were their names not Biden, the president would have never done what he did."
