I mean being impeached by the house AND convicted in the senate (which did not happen with Trump or Clinton). In theory with the Dems in control of both house & senate that may happen.
Not unless a significant portion of (13 of them) Republican senators also vote to remove the current Potus. There’s only been four presidential impeachments in the of the USA, & half of those are Trump himself. No president has ever been removed from office through impeachment. Nixon was close and quit before that could happen.

They need 2/3 in the senate to convict? I figured it likely wasn't 50% but wasn't sure the exact number required.

There is more political capital in just doing the pretend impeaching. Let the chattering class make a big fuss for the left wing media. If they did manage to eject Trump, Vance would take over as Prez. It doesn't trigger an election.
