Brazil's Senate has wrapped up the debate over President Dilma Rousseff's impeachment. 60 out of 81 senators engaged in a 14-hour debate session.

Political analysts project low chances for the suspended leader to survive the impeachment as most senators reportedly spoke against her. The final vote will be cast on Wednesday.

54 senators or two-thirds of the Senate must vote in favor of the impeachment to convict her. Rousseff, in her final speech, insisted her innocence over accusations of fiscal mismanagement.
