U.S. President Donald Trump's impeachment trial heads toward a historic conclusion this week, with senators all-but-certain to acquit him on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

FILE - In this Feb. 5, 2019, file photo, U.S. President Donald Trump delivers his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington, as Vice President Mike Pence and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., watch. WASHINGTON -- U.S.

Three Democratic senators hailing from states where Trump remains popular -- Doug Jones of Alabama, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona -- remained quiet over the weekend about their intentions. Manchin indicated to reporters Friday he probably won't decide his vote "until walking in" to the chamber on Wednesday.

A year ago, Trump made no direct reference to his shutdown of government spurred by a dispute with Democrats over border wall funding in the speech he eventually delivered to Congress. He used his address to call for a "new era of co-operation." Alexander and other Republicans said that even if Trump committed offences charged by the House, they are not impeachable -- especially in an election year. They say voters should make that determination in November.A NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Sunday found majorities of American voters believe that Trump abused his power and obstructed Congress, but split largely among party lines over whether he should be removed from office.
