The vote tomorrow is simply on the resolution regarding how to move forward with the House impeachment inquiry (including opening hearings to the public), not on impeachment itself.
Congresspersons who are on the boat in favor of the resolution tomorrow may not be on the boat in favor of impeachment once all the testimony is finished and the facts are accumulated/presented though.
Anyway, I don't think it will hurt any Democratic Representatives in swing districts to vote in favor of full public transparency in continuing the already-established impeachment inquiry process (especially considering the corroborating testimony from the witnesses called over the last few days).
But, with Trump coming out against the resolution, the Democratic Representatives in districts where Trump had strong wins in 2016 might vote against it. I doubt there are enough of them to prevent a simple majority 'yes' vote on the resolution though, even if all the Republican Reps vote 'no'.
We'll know soon enough.
