I think it will happen in trickles until there are enough to casue a run. Notice what happened with the Epstein vote, once they had that one extra vote for a discharge petition. Suddenly, everyone was on board.

I think there might be a massive surge of Republicans wanting to break ranks once they feel it is safe, or at lease there are enough to actually accomplish something.

The question is, will they get there before it's too late.
