"Senate Republicans Demand Mayorkas Impeachment Trial Amid Border Crisis"
TL;DR
Forty-three Republican senators signed a letter demanding an impeachment trial for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, while six GOP senators, including Mitt Romney and Susan Collins, did not sign. Some senators, such as Rand Paul, have expressed doubts about the validity of the impeachment, citing concerns about setting a precedent for frequent impeachments. The articles of impeachment are expected to be delivered to the Senate next week, with some Republicans expressing concerns that the Democrat-controlled chamber could kill off the trial before it begins.
