'Political courage might require a Republican Senator to risk his or her own political future by breaking lockstep from the President,' Jack Schlossberg wrote in a Twitter thread.

"The question naturally arises: Who, among the Senate Democrats, will stand up to the passions of their party this time? Who will stand up against 'legislative mob rule' and for the rule of law? Who will be the 2020 Profile in Courage?" Pence asked in his article.

"Rather than risk their career or endure personal reprisal, they excuse the President's and others' admitted wrongdoing and disgraceful behavior," Schlossberg wrote. The Democratic-led House of Representatives voted, largely along party lines, to impeach Trump in December, making him only the third president in U.S. history to be indicted by the lower chamber of Congress. But the Senate, which is controlled by Republicans, requires a two-thirds majority vote to remove the president from office.
