The Senate has voted on Trump Impeachment 2.0 and while 57 voted to convict, that was 10 fewer than was required for a finding of guilty. Politico reports 7 Republicans voted to convict:
Susan Collins of Maine,Lisa Murkowski of Alaska,Mitt Romney of Utah,Richard Burr of North Carolina,Ben Sasse of Nebraska,Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania,Bill Cassidy of Louisiana.
The only surprise in this list is Richard Burr. He joined the six who also voted to hold the proceedings constitutional. As a lame duck, he has nothing to lose electorally but may henceforth get less cooperation from GOP colleagues between now and 2023.
Meanwhile, following the vote Trump announced he is far from finished with the MAGA movement, whatever that turns out to mean for him personally.
