LIVE VIDEO: House Votes On Impeaching Mayorkas

CBS News reports:

The House on Tuesday is expected to vote for a second time in a week to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas after Republican leaders suffered an embarrassing defeat in their first effort.

Mayorkas narrowly survived last week’s vote after a small group of Republicans, who said President Biden’s border chief did not commit impeachable offenses for his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border crisis, voted with all Democrats to sink it.

Republicans vowed they would try again once House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who had been undergoing cancer treatment, returned to Washington. The Louisiana Republican will be back at work this week, giving them another vote that is expected to tip the scale in their favor, barring any absences.

Here’s how committed the GOP is to doing the “will of the people.”

1) Gonna try to rush through the Mayorkas impeachment BEFORE the NY special election in case Dems win.

2) Won’t put the foreign aid bill on the floor for a vote, because it would pass overwhelmingly.
