There's a better than 50-50 chance that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would vote to convict President Trump in an impeachment trial, sources tell Axios.
What they're saying: "The Senate institutional loyalists are fomenting a counterrevolution" to Trump, said a top Republican close to McConnell.
Why it matters: This would represent one of the most shocking and damning votes in the history of American politics, by the most powerful Republican in Congress.
McConnell's vote would open the door to the possibility that Trump could be convicted and prohibited from running for president again.

And then I will never vote for another Republican ever again.
Better think this one over carefully Mitch.
Here is a report based on a NY Times report as reported by some other BS outlet. You are being played. This will come out that McConnell is not for this.
i detest mcconnell but this is axios and i believe its pure BS. Mcconnell is scum- but he’s not an idiot.
Look, I am not happy with Mitch. We should not be.
However, he denied this story tonight as did McCarthy.
Maggie at the NYT has a record of this anonymous sources crap claiming there is some kind of drama in DC that makes Trump look bad.
Everyone should consider this carefully before they spout off. The NYT does nothing but throw crap at us.
How much chinese money did mitch receive?
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
I can take or leave it if I please
That game of life is hard to play
Go ahead, McCretin. Destroy an entire political party and become a footnote of history.
And people still think 2/3 of the senators won’t vote against Donald Trump. If the Turtle wants Trump removed, he will have his way.
There won’t/ can’t even be any trial in the Senate.
They don’t care about votes anymore.
That would be a great way to guarantee a Trump-led MAGA Party that would cause the RINO Party to evaporate.
Well then I will do whatever I can to destroy the GOP if they get rid of Trump, even if it takes voting straight Rat.
McConnell has already set a date which is the 19th I believe, which is impossible.
McConnell has a death wish.
I lean towards exiling him and his chinese virus wife back to their motherland. Two faced traitors! Hey mitch, now you can go plant a kiss on maxine since you share so much in common.
Right now the Democrats are split between outright liquidating the GOP or *merely* having a legal detrumpification process akin to Nuremberg.
Quite frankly they can dissolve the entire party as far as I'm concerned.
The wife got to Mitch.
