President Trump has acknowledged the vote to impeachment him, which occurred as he was speaking on stage in Michigan.
"Every single Republican voted for us," Trump said. “We didn't lose one Republican vote.”
The votes occurred in the middle of his speech. It appeared he learned of the vote tallies from an aide.
Trump used the result to tout Republican unity.

"The Democrats always stick together. Think of it: 3 Democrats went over to our side," he said.
