Senator Mitch McConnell is said to believe that the impeachment effort will make it easier to purge President Trump from the party. And Representative Kevin McCarthy has asked other Republicans whether he should call on Mr. Trump to resign in the aftermath of the Capitol siege.
But the kicker is that Liz Cheney, the third ranked Republican in the House, announced she will vote for impeachment, along with several others. I assume more will follow her lead.

Trump's support in Congress is rapidly eroding. They realize he is an albatross and would damage the party even more in the coming years. The leadership is obviously looking to cut those ties.
Will this split the current Republican party into separate factions, resulting in in a centrist Republican Party, and a separate, radical RW party devoted to Trump and Q-Anon?
