Four Senate Republicans have voted along with the Democrats, giving them more than enough votes to call witnesses: Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitt Romney and Ben Sasse.
Lindsay Graham changed his vote from no to yes after it was clear the motion would pass.

The Senate is now voting on lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin’s motion to subpoena Washington congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, one of 10 Republicans in the House of Representatives to vote for impeachment, for ‘corroborating evidence’ about Trump’s actions.
The subpoena would focus on Beutler’s conversation with House minority leader Kevin McCarthy on 6 January and would include Beutler’s contemporaneous notes of the event.
