Trump has no shortage of opponents, but here are some Republicans who have made their opposition known.
Until his retirement from the Senate earlier this year, Flake was among the small but notable cohort of Republican senators who remained vocal in their opposition to Trump after the election.
Flake puts the number of Republicans willing to secretly oppose Trump at 35, well above the 20 who would have to publicly denounce him in order to reach the two-thirds supermajority of 67 senators, assuming all 45 Senate Democrats and both independent senators also voted to impeach. Here are 12 possibilities.
Cory Gardner , Mike Lee , Lisa Murkowski , Dan Sullivan , Rob Portman and Ben Sasse for a likely seven votesSenator Lindsey Graham, poses a notable exception. He voted against Trump in 2016 after losing the Republican nomination, and the two feuded after then-candidate Trump gave out Graham's phone number at a rally"to mock the South Carolina senator" as CNN put it in 2018. But Graham quickly came around after the election.
