I don’t know. They might have hoped to win round enough republicans but they can’t have been banking on it. Given Trump’s antics in his last days in office and especially that speech before the capitol insurrection I think they will have felt compelled to impeach, and even without a subsequent conviction they have been seen to do the right thing. Even without a conviction Trump’s legacy is to be the only US president to be impeached twice.
