Mitt Romney, Utah
Romney, a frequent Trump critic, was the only Republican senator to vote to convict Trump in his first impeachment trial last year.
“After careful consideration of the respective counsels’ arguments, I have concluded that President Trump is guilty of the charge made by the House of Representatives,” he said in a statement. “He did this despite the obvious and well known threats of violence that day. President Trump also violated his oath of office by failing to protect the Capitol, the Vice President, and others in the Capitol. Each and every one of these conclusions compels me to support conviction.”
Romney, who is popular in his state, won re-election in 2018 and won't be on the ballot again until 2024.
