My understanding is that this trial is to determine whether Trump commited an impeachable offence. His two record impeachments stand, whether we agree with them or not.

The Senate has voted 56-44 to proceed with this trial by rejecting Trump's legal team’s argument that the process was unconstitutional.

Will he be convicted? Conviction requires the support of two-thirds of the 100-member chamber. These things tend to fall along party lines and the vast majority of Republicans are currently opposed to the process as the 56-44 vote showed.
