#HouseRepublicans are expected to send over articles of #impeachment against #DHS Sec #Mayorkas on Tues afternoon, kicking off what is likely to be a brief trial in the upper chamber that could conclude as soon as Wed.
Led by 11 impeachment managers appointed by #House Speaker #MikeJohnson, House #Republicans have demanded a full trial, while Senate Democrats, who hold a 51-49 majority, are planning to band together to dismiss or table the trial.
Most #Senate#Republicans, despite previously voicing issues w/the substance of the articles of #impeachment against #Mayorkas, have echoed the lower chamber’s calls for the Senate to adhere to the rules of impeachment & hold a #trial.
At least one Republican — Sen #MittRomney — has said he plans to vote against a full trial. Several others who have been critical of the impeachment have yet to stake out their position, including Sens #SusanCollins & #LisaMurkowski.
