Impeaching - which is just the accusation - requires a majority vote in the House. That’s doable this election but to remove him from office requires two thirds of the senate. To get that Democrats would have to win every senate election this year.
And even then some asshole like Fetterman could switch sides and derail the whole thing.
It really is a spectacularly bad system of government.
Fetterman should just be considered a Republican at this point. Switching sides for him is voting with the Democrats. The real danger is the small handful of actual Democrats that strategically vote with the Republicans every time something comes up that the oligarchs absolutely can not allow to pass but otherwise vote normally for a Democrat because it makes what looks like an easy victory with overwhelming support somehow a narrow loss.
