President Trump attacked Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia for voting to convict him of both impeachment charges.

Manchin, whom many considered to be a potential party defector, voted in favor of removing the president from office for both charges: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Every Democrat did the same.

"I was very surprised & disappointed that Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia voted against me on the Democrat’s totally partisan Impeachment Hoax. No President has done more for the great people of West Virginia than me (Pensions), and that will....," the president tweeted, before adding in a subsequent tweet, "....always continue. Every Republican Senator except Romney, many highly religious people, all very smart, voted against the Impeachment Hoax. @SenCapito was all in (a great person)."

Trump also claimed that many people told him Manchin "was just a puppet for [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer & [Speaker Nancy] Pelosi."

Before his vote, Manchin praised Trump's legal team saying, "They did a good job." He added, "They gave us a lot to think about."

The West Virginia senator explained his decision, tweeting, "The evidence presented by the House Managers, including video testimony of witnesses under oath in the House of Representatives, clearly support the charges brought against the President in the articles of impeachment."
