It's rumored that there are at least 12 senators currently willing to convict Trump from the Republicans. They only need 17, so it's entirely within the realm of possibilities.
But yeah, I'd put the odds at 50/50 at this point. Perhaps McConnell will actually whip the votes to convict since he still has a lot of power over that body.
