Two Republican senators aligned themselves with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in recent days, saying they approve of his plan to vote on initial impeachment trial guidelines while waiting to vote on the issue of witnesses until later in the process.

The Senate is expected to hold an impeachment trial after the House of Representatives impeached President Donald Trump last month.

“I think we need to do what they did the last time they did this … and that was to go through a first phase, and then they reassessed after that,” Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) told reporters Monday after leaving McConnell’s office in Washington.

“I think what we need to do is get to the first step.”

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), another moderate Republican considered a possibility to side with Democrats on trial guidelines, also said Monday she approves of McConnell’s plan.
