Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) — who in a statement last week called President Trump’s conduct “inappropriate” — has shown no inclination to also endorse a resolution formally censuring Trump.
“I’ve said what I have to say about all of this,” Alexander said Tuesday when asked about possibly supporting a censure resolution floated by Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), a centrist Democrat.
Alexander is a prime target for Manchin’s effort to build bipartisan support for a censure of Trump.
He was one of four Senate Republicans who last week deliberated voting for subpoenas of additional witnesses and documents; however, he eventually voted with 50 other colleagues against extending the impeachment trial.
The Tennessee senator last week called Trump’s order to freeze military aid to Ukraine in an attempt to spur an investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden “inappropriate.”
