Here are the seven Republican senators who voted to convict Trump

The Senate voted to acquit former President Donald Trump on the “incitement of insurrection” impeachment charge, but seven Republicans joined with 50 Democrats in voting that he was guilty of the charge.

Here are the seven Republicans who voted to convict Trump:

North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr

  • Statement: “The President promoted unfounded conspiracy theories to cast doubt on the integrity of a free and fair election because he did not like the results. As Congress met to certify the election results, the President directed his supporters to go to the Capitol to disrupt the lawful proceedings required by the Constitution. When the crowd became violent, the President used his office to first inflame the situation instead of immediately calling for an end to the assault. As I said on January 6th, the President bears responsibility for these tragic events. The evidence is compelling that President Trump is guilty of inciting an insurrection against a coequal branch of government and that the charge rises to the level of high Crimes and Misdemeanors. Therefore, I have voted to convict.”
  • Election status: Retiring, not seeking reelection in 2022

Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy

  • Statement: “Our Constitution and our country is more important than any one person. I voted to convict President Trump because he is guilty.”
  • Election status: Just got reelected in 2020, up for reelection in 2026

Maine Sen. Susan Collins

  • Statement: “This impeachment trial is not about any single word uttered by President Trump on January 6, 2021. It is instead about President Trump’s failure to obey the oath he swore on January 20, 2017. His actions to interfere with the peaceful transition of power — the hallmark of our Constitution and our American democracy — were an abuse of power and constitute grounds for conviction.”
  • Election status: Just got reelected in 2020, up for reelection in 2026

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski

  • Statement: “I cannot allow my — my vote, the significance of my vote, to be devalued by whether or not I feel that this is helpful for my political ambitions,” Murkowski told the press pool after the vote. “It was our constitutional obligation to finish our business. And we did. And we did it because we had some extraordinary men and women that were willing to stand, stand up and and defend and protect and — and that was good. I just wish that Donald Trump had been one of them.”
  • Election status: Up for reelection in 2022

Utah Sen. Mitt Romney

  • Statement: “President Trump attempted to corrupt the election by pressuring the Secretary of State of Georgia to falsify the election results in his state. President Trump incited the insurrection against Congress by using the power of his office to summon his supporters to Washington on January 6th and urging them to march on the Capitol during the counting of electoral votes. He did this despite the obvious and well known threats of violence that day. President Trump also violated his oath of office by failing to protect the Capitol, the Vice President, and others in the Capitol. Each and every one of these conclusions compels me to support conviction.”
  • Election status: Up for reelection in 2024

Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse

  • Statement: “Here’s the sad reality: If we were talking about a Democratic president, most Republicans and most Democrats would simply swap sides. Tribalism is a hell of a drug, but our oath to the Constitution means we’re constrained to the facts. … On election night 2014, I promised Nebraskans I’d always vote my conscience even if it was against the partisan stream. In my first speech here in the Senate in November 2015, I promised to speak out when a president — even of my own party — exceeds his or her powers. I cannot go back on my word, and Congress cannot lower our standards on such a grave matter, simply because it is politically convenient. I must vote to convict.”
  • Election status: Just got reelected in 2020, up for reelection in 2026

Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey

  • Toomey will hold a future press call to explain his vote. “I listened to the arguments on both sides I thought the arguments in favor of conviction were much stronger,” he said, according to the Hill pool.
  • Election status: Retiring, not seeking reelection in 2022
