Richard M. Burr N.C.
The President bears responsibility for todays events by promoting the unfounded conspiracy theories that have led to this point.
Susan Collins Maine
If you announce ahead of time how youre going to vote, I dont see how you can render impartial justice before youve heard the evidence.
Mitch McConnell Ky.
I have not made a final decision on how I will vote and I intend to listen to the legal arguments when they are presented to the Senate.
Shelley Moore Capito W.Va.
I did support the president, and I did support the policies and I think the policies were good for West Virginia. But this is inexcusable.
Lisa Murkowski Alaska
I will listen carefully and consider the arguments of both sides, and will then announce how I will vote.
Rob Portman Ohio
If the Senate proceeds with an impeachment trial, I will do my duty as a juror and listen to the cases presented by both sides.
Mitt Romney Utah
During the course of an impeachment trial, Senator Romney will again be bound by his oath to do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws: So help me God. He will consider all of the facts and evidence presented, a spokesperson said.
Ben Sasse Neb.
As a juror, Im not announcing anything now and Im going to be limited on what I say in advance.
Thom Tillis N.C.
Im prepared to go back up to Washington and listen to the arguments.
Patrick J. Toomey PA.
Should the Senate conduct a trial, I will again fulfil my responsibility to consider arguments from both the House managers and President Trumps lawyers.
then the wild cards, we need 7 of these IF the 10 above vote to convict
Marco Rubio Florida (IF he is running for POTUS, but he is a worm)
Tom Cotton Ark. (IF he is running for POTUS, but he is a dangerous thug, albeit extremely intelligent)
Tim Scott S.C. (surely he must at some point tire of supporting white nationalism, but maybe not, grrr)
John Thune S.D.
Deb Fischer Neb.
John Kennedy La. (listed because he can do bizarre things, and is actually one of the most intelligent Senators, he totally plays a fake dumb slack-jaw hick persona to gaslight the rubes in the bayou)
Chuck Grassley IA
Thats a major thing youve got to think about, should Congress, under the Constitution, even do it? We shall see.
Michael D. Crapo Idaho
A spokesperson said that Mr. Crapo is undecided.
Richard C. Shelby Ala.
I believe we need to wait and hear the evidence. If there is a trial, which would be my third as a sitting Senator, I would sit as a juror. And as a juror, I would carefully consider the evidence presented.
Dan Sullivan Alaska
When a trial is conducted, I will be a juror, and I will thoroughly examine the arguments and evidence presented, including any defence mounted by the Presidents legal team.
John Cornyn Texas
If they decide to proceed with the impeachment trial, I will certainly listen to the case presented.
James M. Inhofe Okla.
Accordingly, I will withhold further comments given my role as a prospective juror.
James Lankford Okla.
Were going to go through the facts and the issues on this.
