It is unclear how many Senate Republicans - if any - would vote to convict Trump. Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is telling his caucus that their decision on whether to convict the outgoing president will be a “vote of conscience.” His stance, first reported by Business Insider, means the GOP leadership team will not work to hold senators in line one way or the other.
Some GOP senators are already standing by Trump, despite their criticism of his behavior. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of the president's most loyal allies, said impeachment was a"bad, rushed, emotional move” that puts the presidency at risk and will cause further division. Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney, was spotted at the White House Saturday and told ABC he was likely going to join Trump’s impeachment defense team. He suggested he would continue to spread baseless claims of election fraud on the Senate floor.
Ten Republicans joined all Democrats in the 232-197 impeachment vote on Wednesday, the most bipartisan modern presidential impeachment.
Democrats are afraid of Trump to breathe down their necks next four years every moment charging them for election fraud. Crouching Biden and Democrats are more culpable for violence and destruction of property during BLM than Trump during Capitol protests. Hence Pelosi theatrics.
