Here’s How Senators Voted During Trump’s Second Impeachment Trial

Six Republican senators voted this week that the impeachment trial is constitutional, essentially breaking with 44 other Republicans. But a total of seven senators – Sens. 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, and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana – voted to convict the former president.
