👉The view from our seats in the chamber:
w @LACaldwellDC
1. Sens. Murkowksi & Collins, 2 we'll keep a constant eye on, sat next to each other & chatted as they waited for the ceremony to start.
2. Senators quieted as Laura Dove, sec. of the majority, announced the manager.

@LACaldwellDC The mood also turned very serious.
3. Most sat stone-faced and appeared to be listening to Schiff.
4. A few took notes, including: Portman, Scott, Sasse and Cassidy. Portman appeared to be the only one wrote through the entirety of the proceeding.

@LACaldwellDC 5. Graham, a top Trump ally, shifted a few times, resting his face against his hand and glanced up at the reporter viewing area several times.
When Schiff read that Trump had “ignored and injured” the interests of the nation, Lindsey bowed his head & stared at his hands.

@LACaldwellDC 5. On the Democratic side, Gillibrand wrote constantly. Casey and Klobuchar also took notes often.
They also appeared to follow the no-talking rule. No senators (that we could see) spoke to each other during the presentation.

@LACaldwellDC 6. After the program ended, McConnell and Sen. Pat Roberts, who is retiring, spoke for an extended period as Senators exited the chamber.
