Lewis said in the U.S. House Wednesday that the impeachment proceedings were a sad day in American history. “It’s a sad day, it is not a day of joy. …For some this vote may be hard. But we have a mission and a mandate to be on the right side of history.”

Last week, a bitterly divided House Judiciary Committee approved two articles of impeachment accusing President Donald Trump of abusing the power of his office and obstructing Congress.

The action came after a parade of witnesses corroborated a whistleblower’s complaint that Trump held up congressionally approved military aid to Ukraine in exchange for an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden, a contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, and his son Hunter. The investigation never occurred, and the aid eventually was released.

The Senate is set to hold a trial on the articles of impeachment beginning in January.
