Political theater for sure. I would not be surprised if the Dems move to make the provision that Trump can never hold office, which is a separate vote, a simple majority vote. Might even want to waive the first vote of removal.

I think I read prior to the other impeachment trial, that the vote on holding office is just a majority vote. However, he must first be found guilty with the 2/3 vote. Not that the DemonRats would care.
They think they can do what they like if they got the votes. Doesn’t make it constitutional. Doesn’t make it binding.
Which is a Bill of Attainder in my mind and despite some who believe otherwise.
