Yeah, at least a couple others in a similar boat: Johnson from Wisconsin, Burr in North Carolina, plus Grassley in Iowa is in his late 80s and hasn't made a call either way but wouldn't be surprising if he didn't run again. But I can't see Johnson voting to impeach.
I think there's a lot of low profile "they'll do what Mitch (and their donors) tells them to do" senators. They probably need more in the neighbourhood of 20+ rather than 17, so nobody gets the heat of being the deciding vote.
