"Mayorkas Defends Record Amid Historic Impeachment and Border Security Divides"
TL;DR
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.
