Critical swing-vote Sen. Lamar Alexander says he will announce Thursday night whether he’s voting to call witnesses in President Trump’s impeachment trial.
The retiring Tennessee Republican’s stance could dictate the outcome of a high-stakes vote on Friday and determine if Trump’s trial ends quickly or is extended weeks with witnesses.
...
“I have spoken to Lamar a number of times,” Cruz told reporters during the dinner break Thursday. “In terms of the votes, all 47 Democrats have been clear that they will vote to call additional witnesses. The big question is will four Republicans join the 47 Democrats? Two Republicans, Sen. Romney and Sen. Collins, have indicated publicly that they tend to vote that way and I think there are several other Republicans who may or may not join them.”

Fox has a thing up saying Collins is voting for witnesses.
That’s my hope.
Lamar just had his thunder stolen.
Collins is for witnesses per FNC.
old news
Worthless cnut! Her and Mitt!
The ramp up in funding for defense, nuclear weapons and intelligence under Trump has been very good for the state of Tennessee.
Alexander just announced voting NO on witnesses
Lamar is a disgraceful idiot from my state. We tried to primary him out in 2014 and failed. Between he and Bob Corker, we had two of the biggest turncoats in the Republican Party.
Hey it ain’t us pal. We want that rodent gone as bad as you all do!
Good
Well, what do you know!
He didn’t make us wait until 11:59 pm. Small Miracle.
I hate this jerk. Never voted for him living in TN the last 30 years.
Lamar votes no on witnesses via Twitter!!
I’ll shun him here in TN. And keep sending emails, calling, etc.
“Worthless cnut”
Lol. I haven’t heard that in a long time and you’re right on.
Romney is a Democrat mole posing as a Republican. I don’t know if he has the guts to vote for witnesses. I saw a report that he’s now detested by most Republicans in Utah.
Are you going to eat your crow now?
“Alexander just announced voting NO on witnesses”
Good. Now that he’s leaving, he can brag that he did something right.
I was wrong about Romney. It looks like he’s for hearing Bolton/witnesses.
yea the unuch prty will once again rise to political fears instead of steamrollering their arse..
