"Mayorkas Defends Record Amid Historic Impeachment and Border Security Divides"

Despite the House impeachment vote, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has continued with his duties, with the White House aiming to downplay the impeachment and portray Republicans as focused on partisan vendettas rather than addressing the crisis at the southern border. The administration is engaging allied outside groups to challenge the GOP's case against Mayorkas and emphasize their indifference to solving border issues. While there are risks to this approach, Democrats and Biden allies believe it could help shift the political tide in their favor, especially after a recent victory in New York.

"Mayorkas Impeachment Effort Faces Republican Hesitation and Partisan Warfare"

House GOP leaders are closely monitoring hesitant Republican lawmakers ahead of the expected vote on whether to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas next week. With a razor-thin majority and all Democrats likely to oppose the measure, Republicans need near lock-step unity to pass the historic vote, as a Cabinet official has not been impeached since 1876. Several Republicans, including Rep. Ken Buck, are undecided or against impeachment, while others, such as Rep. Don Bacon, support it due to concerns over the handling of the southern border crisis.
