Mike Johnson LIVE | GOPs Press Conference On Alejandro Mayorkas Impeachment Vote | USA News LIVE

The House is set to vote on whether to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday, where lawmakers could take the rare step of impeaching a Cabinet official for the first time in nearly 150 years.

House Republicans claim Mayorkas has committed high crimes and misdemeanors for his handling of the southern border, even though several constitutional experts have said the evidence does not reach that high bar.

Even if Mayorkas is impeached in the House, it is highly unlikely that he will be charged in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Senate Democrats are still weighing how to respond if Mayorkas is impeached: Move ahead with a trial, or move to dismiss it quickly given their view that it’s blatantly political.
