House impeaches Trump for incitement of insurrection

The House of Representatives votes 232-197 to impeach President Donald Trump on a single article of impeachment for "incitement of insurrection" related to the January 6 attack. Ten Republicans join all Democrats in voting to impeach. This marks the first time a president has been impeached twice. The article cites Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his speech on January 6 urging supporters to march to the Capitol.
