WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite long odds, Democrats say they’re holding out hope that Donald Trump will be convicted when the Senate votes on whether he incited the riot on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. They’d need a minimum of 17 Republicans to vote with them to convict the former president for incitement of insurrection. But that hope seems to have dimmed when word came Saturday before the trial resumed that Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell would vote to acquit Trump. Among the possible Republican votes are frequent Trump critics, including Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Mitt Romney of Utah and Susan Collins of Maine. Democrats also are looking at retiring GOP senators including Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.
