Probably don't have the votes so it will largely be another symbolic "victory".
Some kind of message needed to be sent that this kind of behavior from a president will not be tolerated, but I don't know how effective this will be. It also kind of lessens the power of an impeachment. I don't know how to feel about it.
So is there any chance at all that he'll speak?
If I was up there I'd be taking a page from his own book and taunt him openly. Call him a coward for not testifying and what not.

Because people can walk and chew gum at the same time. Biden ain't involved dude, and the House already finished their bit except for the Impeachment Managers. The Senate is dual-tracking appointee approvals and impeachment, I think they'll be able to do more than one thing at a time.
But no don't you see if we don't try and dismiss Trump and the GOP's actions as something that happened in the past then we might run the risk of there actually being meaningful consequences that would prevent the right wing from being more successful in their attempts to dismantle democracy. /s
I'm honestly beyond tired of crypto fascists and their facile idiot friends on social media. Oscar Wilde really was right about the only two types of people being charming or tedious, and the people trying to dismiss this trial fall into the latter category.

"It's not a cult!"MORE THAN TWO-THIRDS OF Republicans would consider joining a new political party led by former President Donald Trump if he decided to leave the GOP and form a new party.
A CBS News poll found that 33% of Republicans would join Trump's new political party and another 37% said they would "maybe" join the new party. Thirty percent of Republicans said they would not leave the GOP.
Points out? You do realize there was weeks of media coverage on this already. How much more is regurgitating everything along with a negative vote going to accomplish?

Impeachment without the votes is very different to impeachment which has a chance to result in conviction. You do realize that right?
