“House Republicans’ high-stakes effort to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas seems to be on the verge of collapse,” Politico reports.
“The House is currently scheduled to vote later Tuesday to recommend removing the Homeland Security secretary from office over breach of trust and refusing to comply with the law, which would make him the first Cabinet official since 1876 to be impeached. But with incredibly thin margins, a couple GOP ‘no’ votes and absences, House Republicans can’t afford to lose any more members of their own party, if all Democrats vote and are united in opposition.”
“Confidence they can successfully clear that bar is plummeting. As they left a closed-door conference meeting Tuesday morning, five GOP lawmakers expressed doubt that Speaker Mike Johnson would move forward with the vote or that Republicans have the support they need.”
