Biden made a statement in his first comment on the indictment issued by the House of Representatives against Trump to be tried by the Senate for a second time with the intention of impeaching him, "The United States is suffering under the weight of the Covid-19 pandemic and its stifling economic repercussions and needs the House to quickly approve appointments in the new administration until It will be able to deal with it after taking office on January 20

Biden said in a tweet on his official account on "Twitter": "I hope that the Senate will deal with its constitutional responsibilities regarding impeachment while working on other urgent actions."

Biden's call coincides with the Senate's duties to conduct a trial of outgoing President Donald Trump, and his Senate trial will not begin until after this date.

"I hope that the Senate leadership will find a way in which it can deal simultaneously with its constitutional responsibilities regarding impeachment and with other urgent matters of this nation," Biden said in his statement.

On Wednesday evening, US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi signed the impeachment resolution against Trump for the second time in preparation for his referral to the Senate.

Earlier, the US House of Representatives voted by majority in favor of charging President Trump with "incitement to rebellion" and removing him from office, and Trump becomes the first president in the history of the United States to vote in favor of removing him twice.

232 members voted in favor of the decision to impeach Trump, including 222 Democrats and 10 Republicans, compared to 197 Republicans who voted against the decision.

However, the leader of the Republican majority in the Senate stressed that there is no way that President Trump will be tried before he leaves the White House.
