Speaker Nancy Pelosi had just banged the gavel down Wednesday night, cementing President Donald Trump’s place in history as the third president to be impeached, when a smattering of Democrats started applauding.
Pelosi, who wore a black dress and a large golden brooch in the shape of the speaker’s mace to reflect what she called the “somberness” and “seriousness” of the moment, had been on the floor nearly all day, watching the debate from both sides. But the last hour of the long day was the most rowdy.Republicans let out audible jeers as Democratic leaders offered their final remarks.
Pelosi even took part, taking time to scribble her vote on a green paper card before turning it into the House clerks. Before the House convened for the day, freshman Rep. Max Rose sat in the back of the chamber, alone. Rose, who had long resisted impeachment and even posted an op-ed arguing firmly against it days before the Ukraine scandal broke, looked around the largely empty chamber and let out a sigh.
