This is only marginally easier in the incoming Senate, because it's only Democrat-controlled on the casting vote of the Vice President. Otherwise, the new Senate is actually split 50/50. On these figures, 17 Republicans would have to vote for conviction. The NY Times has information suggesting 20 of them are open to the prospect of convicting Trump, so who knows.
