More and more senior Republican politicians are deviating from the line of the outgoing president.
Ivanka Trump also seems to have had enough by now and contradicts her father.
The
second impeachment proceedings
against
Donald Trump were
initiated
on Wednesday
.
More and more
Republicans are
refusing allegiance to the
president
.
A rift seems to be looming
within the
Trump
family
.
Washington, DC - The presidency of
Donald Trump
has been
in ruins
since the
storm on the Capitol
.
More and more senior
Republicans
and politicians are refusing allegiance to the
US president
or speaking out in favor of his impeachment.
Now there may even be a rift within the family, because
Ivanka Trump
has announced that she will be attending the inauguration of
Joe Biden
.
Against Donald Trump's wishes: Ivanka wants Joe Biden's inauguration
In less than a week, President-elect
Joe Biden will
be sworn in as the 46th US President.
While
Donald Trump
and his wife
Melania Trump are
staying away from the event, US Vice President
Mike Pence
seems
to want to come.
According to reports,
Ivanka Trump
also wants to
attend the celebrations out of concern for her political and personal reputation, as
Ivanka
was
also
criticized
in the course of the
storming of the Capitol
.
In a tweet that she has since deleted, she described the intruders in the
Capitol
as "American patriots".
In the meantime, she has deleted this tweet and relativized her statement.
No.
Peaceful protest is patriotic.
Violence is unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest terms.

An anonymous source
close to Ivanka Trump
has reported in the UK
Daily Mail
that
Ivanka is attending
the inauguration to save the future of her political career.
According to the informant,
Donald Trump
reacted angrily to this information: "He said it was an insult that she even wanted to get involved with the crooks who are trying to bring him down," said the anonymous informant.
Ivanka
, on the other hand, hopes that by participating, she will be perceived as a fair competitor and thus gain new supporters.
Another
White House
informant
denied the presidential daughter's promise.
After storming the Capitol: More and more Republicans break with Trump
It's been a difficult last few days for the
US President
.
After Congress finally
confirmed
Joe Biden's
election victory last Thursday
, Trump is
facing
a
second impeachment procedure
in the final stages of his presidency
.
In addition, there are more and more voices from the core of the
Republicans
who refuse allegiance to
the
president
or even
speak out in favor of
impeachment
.
The
New York Times
recently reported that even Senate Republican majority leader
Mitch McConnell believes
an impeachment is justified.
McConnell's
view is by no means an isolated case among
Republicans
.
Although the
Democrats
a majority in the
House of Representatives
hold and are therefore not dependent on the support of Republicans, voted on Wednesday ten
republican
deputy for the
second impeachment
of
Donald Trump
.
Even if the process may be stopped in the Senate due to a lack of a two-thirds majority, more and more
Republicans are
breaking away
from Trump.
