Fact check: Trump claims "We won 197-0." Here's what we know

Speaking today from the White House, President Trump said "it helped when we won 197-0."

Facts First: Trump appears to be referring to the fact that no Republican voted in favor of impeachment in the House. In fact, he decisively lost a key process vote and then the two votes to actually impeach him. 

The Democratic-controlled House voted 232-196 in October in favor of the Democrats’ proposed rules for the impeachment inquiry.

The House voted 230-197 and 229-198 in December on the two articles of impeachment.

That is possibly the basis of Trump’s “197” figure in this quote, but the claim that “we won 197 to nothing” remains nonsensical.
