Sen. Patrick Toomey (Pa.) has drawn rebukes from Republican leaders in multiple counties across Pennsylvania following his vote to convict former President Trump during his second Senate impeachment trial over the weekend.
According to CBS Pittsburgh, Republican leaders in Clarion, Lawrence, Washington, York and Centre County have voted to censure the fellow Pennsylvania Republican as a result of Toomey's vote.
Toomey was one of seven Republican senators who voted on Saturday to convict Trump on charges that he incited the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.
The upper chamber ended up acquitting Trump in a 57-43 vote. At least 67 senators, or two-thirds of the chamber, would have needed to vote to convict the former president in order for him to have been found guilty of the charge.
