The Senate voted Saturday against convicting former President Donald Trump for inciting the insurrection at the Capitol last month in the culmination of the first impeachment trial of an ex-president in US history. 

The final vote was 57 in favor or impeachment and 43 against. The measure required 67 votes to pass with a two-thirds majority. Seven Republicans voted with all Democrats to convict the former president.

Texas senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn and Oklahoma senators James Lankford and Jim Inhofe all voted to clear Trump of the single article of impeachment.
