President Joe Biden has reacted over the acquittal of former president Donald Trump in the US Capitol insurrection trial at the Senate.
In a statement after Senate voted 57-43 to acquit Trump in his second impeachment trial, Biden described democracy as fragile and that it must always be defended.
Trump was charged of inciting the mob that overran Congress on January 6 but was acquitted by Senators who voted 57 that he was guilty.
“While the final vote did not lead to a conviction, the substance of the charge is not in dispute.
“This sad chapter in our history has reminded us that democracy is fragile. That it must always be defended. That we must be ever vigilant,” Biden said in a statement after the trial.
TNG reports 67 guilty votes was needed to convict Trump but most Republicans argued that the trial itself was unconstitutional because Trump was no longer president.
Meanwhile, Trump has said his acquittal is only the beginning of the movement to Make America Great Again.
