Sen. Rand Paul, Kentucky Republican, warned Friday that Senate Republicans will “destroy the party†if they vote to convict President Trump.

“Look, I didn’t agree with the fight that happened last week, and I voted against overturning the election, but at the same time, the impeachment is a wrongheaded, partisan notion,†said Mr. Paul on Fox’s “The Ingraham Angle.†“But if Republicans go along with it, it’ll destroy the party.â€
