LIVE VIDEO: House Votes On Impeaching Mayorkas

February 6, 2024 Republicans, Trump cultists

The House on Tuesday will vote on a Republican-led resolution to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the southern border.

The articles of impeachment accuse Mayorkas, long the target of GOP attacks when it comes to immigration policy, of “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” and “breach of public trust” amid a surge in unauthorized migrant crossings.

It’s also likely to be a close vote. Republicans have a razor-thin three-vote majority in the House, and two members of the conference have said they are against impeaching Mayorkas: Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado and Rep. Tom McClintock of California.

Read the full article. The House has voted 216-209 to advance the measure, with three not voting on each side. It now appears that the final vote is “this evening,” but I’m bumping up the live stream in case it happens sooner.
