The next Senate could take it up but other than getting everyone on record, not sure what it would do.

No, he could run again if they didn’t also decide, after the conviction, to have a separate vote to ban him from holding Federal office again. Since at least 1912, that vote to ban Federal office holding has only needed to be a simple majority.
