7 Republicans voted to convict him the second time (after Jan 6), but Romney was the only one to vote to convict Trump's first impeachment (after asking Ukraine to dig up dirt on Biden in exchange for our support).
Edit: I believe that Trump is the only president to have members of his own party vote to convict him. The other two impeached presidents being Clinton and Andrew Johnson. Nixon never faced impeachment but resigned after it became clear that senators of his party would vote to convict him.
