"House Votes on Impeachment of DHS Secretary Mayorkas Amid GOP Claims"

Speaker Mike Johnson is taking a risky bet on impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, with GOP leaders confident they have the numbers for a Tuesday vote but facing potential holdouts and a slim margin for error. If successful, it would appease the right flank, but a failure could dent their prospects for impeaching President Joe Biden. The tight vote has led to behind-the-scenes efforts to shore up support, with some Republicans expressing reluctance due to past politicization of impeachment. Even if Mayorkas is impeached, the Senate is likely to dismiss the articles quickly. House Republicans are also considering pursuing impeachment articles against Biden, but some members have unrealistic expectations regarding the evidence required.
