House Republicans are eyeing a redo on impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas this week after the conference fell short of penalizing the embattled Cabinet head in a stunning — and embarrassing — fashion.
The House is slated to hold another vote on impeaching Mayorkas on Tuesday, which Republicans expect to be successful, as Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) returns to the Capitol following cancer treatment. If all members are present and vote the same way as last week, and Scalise is supportive of impeachment, the effort will just squeak by.
They have to try it today, the special election for Santos’s seat is today. While the outcome is not certain, there is a snowstorm blowing through Long Island and all the MAGAs don’t trust early voting so I think the Democrat may have an edge there. Assuming he wins, then Republicans will not have the votes to do it until the special election for McCarthy’s seat next month (which ought to go Republican)
