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.

I dont think McConnell whips the votes but my guess is in the back rooms he is making sure that 20 or so senators who arent running for reelection or represent moderate states where voting against Trump is a good thing politically are clearly encouraged to vote against Trump while any and every other Senator who cant do that politically are told to feel free to stay away from the house on the day
