Impeachment is a waste of time unless we have the votes in the senate to convict.

If enough pro-Trump senators get into the senate in the 2022 mid term elections, then there might be enough votes in the senate to convict Joe Biden.

For 2022, there are 34 senate seats up for re-election. 20 of them are held by the GOP compared to 14 by the Dems. Even if the GOP swept the senate elections, and got pro-Trump senators installed in each and every one of those seats, we’d have 64 republicans to 36 Dems. In such a scenario, we’d still need a few Dems to vote to convict.

Regardless, I think we have decent odds to retake the senate as Dem senators in GA, AZ, NH, and NV are all up for re-election

A majority vote in the senate is at least a 2/3 majority. In that scenario, there would then be enough votes to convict Biden in the senate.
