Democrats still won’t have a supermajority in the Senate needed to convict come the new Congress in 2027, so you’re likely to see a failure to convict then as well. They’ll need 11-12 Republican Senators to cross the floor and the numbers likely just aren’t there unless there’s a rank-and-file Republican revolt in the next two months. The odds of that happening, I’d argue, are fairly slim.

Why wait though? Sure, it was going to fail in the Senate, but it's about sending a message. It's a warning salvo. Since this was a Republican plan, it's a signal for them to cooperate for their own political gain. They get to benefit from turning against MAGA, even though it's way too late. They suck, but we should use their selfishness to move them away from the MAGA grasp.
