Are There Enough Senate Republican Votes to Convict Trump? Intelligencer 1/14/2021 Ed Kilgore © Caroline Brehman-Pool/Getty Images The wily McConnell is not going to break with his conference to convict Trump. Caroline Brehman-Pool/Getty Images The brisk and successful drive to a second impeachment of Donald Trump, and his ebbing power in Washington, have raised some hopes that this time around the U.S. Senate might actually convict him of high crimes and misdemeanors and bar him from future office (since the calendar will take care of removing him from the one he occupies now). Predictions this could happen appear based largely on the relatively low level of Senate Republican support for Trump’s electoral vote protests on January 6, and a surge of questionably sourced claims that Mitch McConnell might actually support conviction.
