Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Saturday it is “certainly possible” some Senate Democrats will vote to acquit President Donald Trump when the Senate impeachment trial concludes.
The Connecticut Democrat said that the Senate Democrat conference will likely vote for additional witnesses; however, he added that he cannot guarantee all Democrats will vote to convict the president.
Sen. Murphy said Saturday morning:
I don’t have any reason to think there are Democrats that aren’t with us on procedural votes. It’s certainly possible there are Democrats that are going to vote no on one of the articles, two of the articles. And I don’t have a sense where everybody is on the articles. We haven’t talked about it.
“Schumer may know, but nobody has done public or private whipping on this,” he added.
The mainstream media have focused on the possibility of Senate Republicans voting for allowing additional witnesses to testify during the impeachment trial, although it remains possible that some Senate Democrats will end up voting to acquit the president after the trial wraps up.
Politico suggested Saturday that Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) are the most likely Democrats to consider voting to acquit the president.

Don’t hold your breath, these people are selfish,corrupt and evil
Jones, Manchin. Maybe even the oddly hot blonde lesbian, glasses whatsherface.
lol
There’s a description of a person you don’t see every day :)
Now I’m curious :)
Sone will be smart enough to try and save their own butt.
Kyrsten Sinema?
Yeah she is oddly hot.
4-7 are going to.
There is a awful, bloody civil war coming. There is no way around it when one side will lie without conscience to get power.
Schumer: Get those G.D. donkeys back in the pen. Pronto!
Underling: But sir, what about their sacred freedom of conscience as you always say about Romney and Collins?
Schumer (laughing too hard to talk).
The smart ones can have it both ways... Yes on one article. No on the other.
From Wisconsin???
Am I wrong in thinking it’d take 20 Republicans to vote with the 47 Democrats to convict?
How would he know? I thought all the Senators pledged to be fair minded when presented with the Evidence.
So far there doesn’t seem to be any Evidence proving POTUS Trump is Guilty of the Charges, why doesn’t he think think that ALL the Rat Senators will Vote against the bogus Impeachment?
that’s a dude. isn’t it?
She is and I have been surprised at her. I thought she was going to be a moonbat.
Im telling ya that Kyrsten Sinema is an odd duck but so far she has done a pretty good job as Senator..I follow her tweets on twitter whatever her code pinko days appear to be over she posts about supporting Israel, I know, go figure, someone who was a code pinko lefty freak jew hating organization now supports Israel, its bizarro world
And it is at least equally possible that some RINOs will go to the dark side.
How many votes are needed to convict?
It would take a supermajority of 67 votes to convict. The verdict cannot be appealed to a court.
Both previous presidential impeachment trials ended in acquittals.
Who the 67 schmucks would be? We never will have to find out, hopefully.
