"Senate Impeachment Trial of DHS Secretary Mayorkas Delayed by GOP Senators"

Republican senators successfully convinced House Speaker Mike Johnson to delay the delivery of two impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, fearing that Senate Democrats would swiftly dismiss them once a trial begins. The delay allows more time for debate and prevents the trial from being tabled ahead of the weekend, with GOP senators also discussing plans to halt legislative business if Democrats table the trial. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has not indicated what Democrats will do, but Republican senators believe their caucus will seek a strategic procedural maneuver.
