Senate impeachment whip count: Where Democrats and Republicans stand

The House voted Wednesday to impeach President Trump for his role in inciting an angry mob to storm the U.S. Capitol.

The article of impeachment now moves to the Senate, though it is unclear when an impeachment trial will begin.

The House vote to impeach Trump was the most bipartisan vote of its kind in history, even though only a fraction of Republicans voted to impeach. If Trump is convicted by the Senate, he would become the first president in history to be convicted in an impeachment trial.

Two-thirds of senators present and voting on an article of impeachment are necessary to convict.

Below is a running tally, based on the expected composition of the Senate during a trial, of where senators stand and what they have said about impeachment and convicting Trump.
