On Wednesday, the Senate acquitted President Donald Trump of the two charges against him in his impeachment trial.
After five months of bitter fight between House impeachment managers and Trump's defence team, the Senate voted to acquit Trump 52-48 on charges of abuse of power and 53-47 on obstruction of Congress.
He will become the first impeached president to seek re-election.
