Albuquerque, January 15-- The following is a statement from Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce on today's House vote to send two articles of impeachment to the Senate:

 “Today’s impeachment trial vote was nothing less than political grandstanding. The Democrats have no direction and don’t even know who their witnesses will be. They appear to be going through this entire process on a whim. This entire sham will end in the Senate where President Trump will be acquitted because he committed no impeachable offense.”
