Senate Dems Kill Mayorkas Impeachment Attempt

CNN reports:

The Senate voted to kill the second and final article of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The Senate voted 51 to 49 on party lines. The chamber voted to kill the first article of impeachment earlier today. The Senate is voting now to adjourn as the impeachment trial is over.

Republican Sen. John Kennedy proposed a motion to adjourn until May 1, which did not succeed on a party-line 49-51 vote. The Senate also voted against another motion to adjourn until November 6. GOP Sen. Roger Marshall argued it would have allowed the American people can have a vote on this issue.

Sad but true.

Democrats are willing to throw the Constitution in the trash to defend DHS Secretary Mayorkas.https://t.co/zGkiFYIGgt
