It's a completely unrealistic plan.

In what universe are there sufficient votes to convict and remove Vance from the Vice Presidency? It takes 67 votes, assuming all 100 Senators are present. Including Sanders and King, the Democrats currently control 47 Senate seats. There are 20 Republican held seats on the ballot in 2026 -- does anyone, anywhere, believe the Democrats are going to capture every Republican-held seats? Does anyone, anywhere think there would be sufficient Repubs willing to vote to convict JD Vance or Trump?
