There may be 2, Joe Manchin West Virginia, and Doug Jones Alabama. But they will be votes to retain their Senate seats, rather than votes of courage. So, the answer to your question is, no - highly unlikely.
LOL. It's the party uber alles!
Just as soon as I win both the Powerball and Mega Millions Jackpots.
It won’t matter. Trump has enough votes to be acquitted if all senators vote along party lines. And the Democratic Party needs to be destroyed for its other sins.
I didn’t click all the way through the last time the topic came up.

I did look up that Ben Wade was President Pro Tempore but somehow I wrongly remembered that he voted not guilty. But according to Wikipedia he voted guilty.

I assume Ross had announced intentions to vote guilty then changed at the last minute?
They do the roll call alphabetically, no? The final Republican vote to acquit was Peter Van Winkle (WV) and the final Democrat vote to acquit was George Vickers (MD).
Only if he, she or it switches parties immediately.
There will be several profiles in courage this time:
Mittens
Whiner
Murky
Lamar
Portman
Heller
Capito
Hoeven
Amash
Gardner
McSally
53-11=42
47+11=58
DJT still POTUS.
“Profiles in Courage”, by President John F. Kennedy described a generation of men and women epitomizing courage. His generation of both Democrat and Republican exuded courage that ended a World War, a Major Depression, and sent men to the moon.
Todays generation of Democrats is perfectly described by Peter Schweitzer’s new book “Profiles in Corruption”. There simply are no courageous Democrats left.
Voting Dem, for any reason, would be a mistake. If they voted to acquit, then switched parties, that might be OK
That “totally partisan” charge cuts both ways. Anyhow, I’ll trade the schmuck Kyrsten for Willard; that way everybody’s happy and it’s a bi-partisan deal.
I’d trade a 200 pound pile of feces for Pierre Delecto, he is that disgusting and worthless.
