Remember this: Republicans control 53 seats in the Senate. Even if the Democratic-led House impeaches Trump, he will not be removed until 67 senators vote to convict him. Which, by a bit of back-of-the-envelope math, means that 20 GOP senators would have to side with all 47 Democrats (and independents who caucus with Democrats) in the Senate for Trump to actually be removed.
A simple majority of the House of Representatives (at least 218 votes) is required to impeach a U.S. President followed by a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate (at least 67 votes).
And yet the House went with it knowing it'll likely fail. Maybe that's why many people believe that they are just doing this for media coverage (which they already have much of). Just keep making accusations without having to prove them, what's important is that the accusations stick into people's minds.
