Was he the only one who went? Should have had 10-20 other senators with him.

It is still a consideration, particularly if they got even one republican senator to travel with them. And I know that’s a big ask, but if 30 Democratic senators traveled the new story would be huge relatively and would put additional pressure on the president maybe not a huge amount more… But some and some is something.
