Which Republican lawmakers voted to impeach Trump in 2019 and 2025?
Executive summary
Ten House Republicans voted to impeach Donald Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack; none of the House GOP voted for the first [1] impeachment (though former Republican Justin Amash — by then an independent — did in 2019) [2] [3]. In 2025 sources show multiple Democratic-led impeachment efforts and at least one House roll-call on an impeachment resolution (H.Res.537) with a motion to table passing 344–79 on June 24, 2025, but available sources do not list a clear, compiled roll of any Republican House members who voted to impeach Trump in 2025 [4] [5].
1. The clear break in 2021: 10 House Republicans crossed party lines
After the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the House voted a single article of impeachment for “incitement of insurrection,” and ten House Republicans joined all Democrats to vote for impeachment — a notable divergence from the 2019 vote when no House Republican supported impeachment [2] [6]. Coverage across Roll Call, PBS and other outlets repeatedly names that group of 10 as the distinct Republican faction that broke with the party in the second impeachment [2] [6].
2. Who did — and did not — vote in 2019
On the first impeachment in December 2019, the House approved two articles related to Ukraine, and reporting and roll-call summaries show House Republicans voted overwhelmingly against those articles; virtually no House Republican supported that impeachment [7] [8]. The notable exception commonly cited is Justin Amash, a former Republican who had left the party and voted for the 2019 articles as an independent, but not as a member of the Republican conference [2] [3].
3. The 10 Republicans: political consequences and follow‑up
Multiple outlets tracked the political fallout for the 10 Republicans who voted in 2021, documenting retirements, primary losses and challenges influenced by Trump’s opposition; only a handful survived or remained politically viable in subsequent election cycles, according to reports in VOA, The Hill and FiveThirtyEight [9] [10] [11]. That coverage illustrates why identifying Republican votes in later impeachment efforts matters: party discipline, primary pressure and Trump’s influence reshaped who remains willing to break with him [9] [11].
4. Impeachment activity in 2025: multiple resolutions, debates, and a House vote to table
Reporting and the congressional record show renewed impeachment activity in 2025: at least two separate impeachment resolutions were introduced (H.Res.353 and H.Res.537), Shri Thanedar filed seven articles in April 2025, and H.Res.537 text accuses the president of high crimes and misdemeanors [12] [13] [4]. The House clerk’s roll shows Roll Call 175 on June 24, 2025 — “On Motion to Table” the impeachment resolution — passed 344–79, but the public summary in the provided sources does not supply a labeled list in those snippets of which specific Republicans voted yea or nay on that motion [5].
5. What the available 2025 sources do — and do not — say about GOP votes
Congress.gov and related reporting confirm impeachment resolutions were filed and that the House considered motions on them [12] [4]. The clerk’s roll-call entry confirms vote totals on the motion to table (344 yea, 79 nay) [5]. However, available sources in your packet do not provide a compiled list or citation naming individual Republican House members who voted to impeach Trump in 2025; therefore I cannot assert which specific Republicans (if any) voted for impeachment in that year from these sources alone — the record of who voted which way in that June 24 motion is in the roll but the excerpts provided do not identify party-by-name votes [5].
6. Competing viewpoints and political context
Coverage in Axios, Semafor and Newsweek frames 2025 impeachment efforts as both a substantive oversight response and a political weapon: Democrats and some activists pushed articles alleging abuses, while Republicans and Trump allies described such moves as “witch hunts” or partisan theatrics meant to energize the base [14] [15] [16]. That split explains why some House Republicans may oppose impeachment as politically dangerous for their party even amid legal or ethical allegations — sources show the strategic calculations on both sides [14] [15].
7. How you can confirm individual 2025 votes (next steps)
To get definitive names of any Republicans who backed impeachment in 2025, consult the full House roll-call for the relevant vote (Clerk of the House or the detailed roll-call on clerk.house.gov/Congress records) or the complete Congress.gov vote record for H.Res.537; the provided clerk summary confirms the tally but does not include individual vote names in the supplied snippets [5] [4]. Available sources do not mention a compiled list of Republican supporters of impeachment in 2025 in the materials you provided [5].
Limitations: This analysis uses only the supplied reporting and congressional snippets; if you want a named list of any Republicans who voted in favor in 2025 I can pull that from the full roll-call text if you provide the full vote export or permit me to fetch the full clerk/Congress.gov vote roster.
