A grand total of ZERO House Republicans voted in favor of the impeachment inquiry against President Trump. However, Bill Kristol has it on good authority that things will change when it’s crunch time:
Having called around some, reassured in my judgment that those House Republicans open to voting for impeachment simply decided to stick with the party yesterday, and to save their dissent for the real vote. No point telegraphing the jail break to the prison guards ahead of time.

One piece of evidence that yesterday's vote was a place holder and doesn't show real Republican unity against impeachment is the degree of Trump's agitation today. He doesn't seem like a highly confident guy. And the Post-ABC poll can't have helped.
