President Trump has been impeached

President Trump has acknowledged the vote to impeach him, which occurred as he was speaking on stage in Michigan.

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 Republican Party has never been so affronted but they have never been so united as they are right now,” he said.

He said it was “unheard of” that some Democrats would vote against the impeachment.

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

Nancy Pelosi shot her members a look when it appeared that several House Democrats cheered or applauded after she announced that the articles of impeachment had passed.

Earlier in the day, the House Speaker told Democrats not to celebrate during the vote.

Watch here:

The vote on the second article of impeachment — obstruction of Congress — spilt almost entirely along party lines.

Here's the final vote count:

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, was again the only Democrat to vote present.

The White House just released a statement following the impeachment of President Trump, calling it "one of the most shameful political episodes in the history of our nation."

The statement went on to call the impeachment a "sham" that denied the President "fundamental fairness and due process under the law."

The White House further stated: "All of these antics make clear that Democrats have lost sight of what this country needs, which is a Congress that works for the people. Their boundless animus for President Trump fuels their desire to nullify the 2016 election results, and improperly influence the 2020 election."

Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, who is a representative from Hawaii, released a statement explaining her decision to vote “present" on the first article of impeachment against President Trump.

Gabbard is the only candidate who is a member of congress who is able to vote on impeachment. The other congressmembers who are running are all members of the Senate.

The US House of Representatives just adjourned for the night.

The House will return tomorrow at 9 a.m. ET.

Lawmakers debated for six hours on the floor before voting on the articles of impeachment tonight.

In a historic move, the House of Representatives has passed two articles of impeachment against President Trump.

The House voted primarily along party lines to impeach Trump on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

A majority of the US House of Representatives have voted to support the second article of impeachment — obstruction of Congress — against President Trump.

House Democrats have 216 votes. Lawmakers are still voting on the House floor.

What happened just moments ago: The House voted almost entirely along party lines to charge Trump with abuse of power, the first article of impeachment.

Here's what how the vote on the first article of impeachment — abuse of power — went down:

One member, Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, voted present.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the final vote from the speaker's chair.
