Mayorkas impeachment moves to Senate, where trial could end fast

House Republicans sent over articles of against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro on Tuesday afternoon,
kicking off what is likely to be a brief trial in the upper chamber that could conclude as soon as Wednesday.

Led by 11 impeachment managers appointed by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Republicans have demanded a full trial,

while Senate Democrats, who hold a 51-49 majority,
are planning to band together to dismiss or table the trial.

At least one Republican
— Sen. Mitt (Utah)
— has said he plans to vote against a full trial.

Most Senate Republicans, despite previously voicing concerns about the substance of the articles of impeachment against Mayorkas, have echoed the lower chamber’s calls for the Senate to adhere to the rules of impeachment and hold a trial.

Several others who have been critical of the impeachment have yet to stake out their position, including Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska)

Mike Johnson warns Ukraine-border deal likely ‘dead on arrival’ in House –

Democrats and Republicans in the upper chamber have been negotiating for months on an agreement to policy in a bid to keep undocumented migrants from entering the United States.

While no compromise has yet been reached, House Speaker Mike said today that “if rumors about the contents of the draft proposal are true, it would have been 🔸dead on arrival 🔸in the House anyway.”

Johnson also said he would support the effort to Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas, who Republicans have accused of mishandling border security.
“When we return next week, by necessity, the House Homeland Security Committee will move forward with Articles of Impeachment against Secretary . A vote on the floor will be held as soon as possible thereafter,” he wrote.

Impeachments of cabinet secretaries are exceedingly rare, and the Senate’s Democratic majority will almost certainly refuse to convict Mayorkas.
