"Republican Chaos: Al Green's Hospital Vote and GOP Dysfunction"
TL;DR Summary
Representative Al Green, who was in the hospital for abdominal surgery, left briefly to cast a decisive vote against the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The House ultimately failed to impeach Mayorkas, with the final tally at 216-214. Green, determined to cast his vote, expressed his belief in Mayorkas as a "good, decent man" and denied any gamesmanship, while opponents of President Biden blamed Mayorkas for the surge in illegal immigration at the US-Mexico border.
