On the 5th (local time), Senator Romney said, "I will vote guilty on President Trump's impeachment." He added that President Trump is "guilty of abusing public trust." The U.S. Senate is scheduled to hold a vote on President Trump's impeachment at 4 p.m. that day.

He argued, "What Trump did is a clear attack on our voting rights, national security, and fundamental values."

However, Senator Romney predicted, "My vote will be a minority opinion, and President Trump will not be impeached."

Senator Romney is one of the most prominent anti-Trump figures within the Republican Party. He has consistently maintained a critical view throughout the impeachment process of President Trump.

Even if he votes in favor of impeachment against the Republican Party's official stance, U.S. media expect that the impeachment of President Trump is virtually impossible since the Republicans hold 53 of the 100 seats in the Senate. To impeach President Trump, 67 votes, which is two-thirds of the Senate, are required.
