I would think it’d be top news. Although the tweet says press conference in New York so maybe something only dealing with New York. The tweet is below on this thread.

Nancy impeached Donald because of the rule of law and the protection of our Constitution.

Chuck seems to be so enmeshed in his feud with McConnell that he fails to see the bigger picture, that it is bigger than politics. It is bigger than the Senate Majority Leader job.

And that Arkansas rube Asa Hutchinson was blathering on about how everything they did in the Clinton impeachment is now completely the wrong approach for this impeachment, and they had a split screen with Chuck speaking but without any audio. Wonder if he knew he was being ignored by all the networks?
