Senate eyes quick getaway after impeachment vote

Senate Republicans are signaling they could quickly leave town after back-to-back votes on Wednesday on the two articles of impeachment.
The plan, which would have senators leaving Washington by Wednesday evening, comes after senators have spent weeks stuck in the Capitol amid an impeachment trial that frequently went late into the night and included a Saturday session.
Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), the No. 2 Republican senator, when asked if senators would leave after the two votes, indicated that it was under discussion.
"I think the most likely scenario is, yeah, after the votes tomorrow we wrap for the week," Thune said.
