The disparate group's views on the trial are a concern to the White House and GOP leaders, who are worried some could break and vote with Democrats on key trial-related issues, sources tell CNN. If four of them were to buck calls from GOP leaders for a short, witness-free trial, it could upend the process and create the kind of wild uncertainty Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he has been carefully"coordinating" to avoid in ongoing talks with top White House officials.
Like Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, who have both been critical of Trump for various things he's done or said despite Trump being popular in their states, and Sen. Martha McSally of Arizona who is up for reelection in a state trending purple. At a news conference, Schumer tried to ramp up the pressure on this group of Republicans by saying he expects bipartisan support for his call for witnesses to testify.

All we know is that Mitch will now call the shots and the trial will be done according to his rules and Trumps Terms. The Dems in the house set the precedent nd should not cry foul now
We need to vote
There are a lot of respectful Republicans that are not going to go down with the ship. I have faith that they will do the right thing. They cannot be 'constutional conservatives' and turn a blind eye. Not this time, this President is not worth it.

Schumer requests four witnesses, including Mulvaney and Bolton, in letter to McConnell about Senate impeachment trialSenate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer made it clear in a letter to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Sunday night that he prefers a Senate impeachment trial with witness testimony and new documents, a direct rebuttal to top Republicans who have argued in recent days that a shorter trial without witnesses would spare the Senate from becoming a partisan circus. And it won’t pass senate so again, who cares. Chuck Schumer kicks some ass 👍👍 Mitch McConnell will be voted out in 2020 he's a joke They deserve to be treated just as Schiff treated the Republicans. Tough shit. No witnesses.
