Several Republican senators claimed that several Democrats might break with their party and vote to acquit President Donald Trump during the looming Senate trial.

While it’s not clear who will vote to acquit, Senate Republicans told The Hill this week that one or two Democrats may defect, which would allow them to tout his acquittal as bipartisan—the same strategy the GOP has adopted after several House Democrats voted against impeachment earlier this month.
