Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) announced Monday he's still "undecided" on whether he'll vote to acquit or convict Trump at the end of the ongoing presidential impeachment trial. Manchin was clear in placing some fault on Trump and the arguments made in his defense, but said he will ultimately come to his decision "reluctantly" come Wednesday.
