Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) reportedly supports the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

According to CBS News citing a person close to the majority leader, McConnell supports the impeachment — but will not speak publicly until the House delivers the article to the Senate.

This news follows Tuesday’s New York Times reporting — which said that McConnell was pleased by the House taking up impeachment — and later Axios reporting, which stated that McConnell was more than 50-50 to vote to convict the president in a Senate trial.

McConnell’s reasoning, as reported by the Times, is that he believes impeachment will serve to excise Trump from the Republican party.
