Senate Democrats recently blocked the impeachment trial of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, drawing significant criticism from Republican lawmakers. Senator Ted Cruz accused the Democrats of discarding two centuries of precedent, while other Republicans, including Rep. Ben Cline and Rep. Harriet Hageman, expressed their disapproval of the decision, citing it as a failure to address the ongoing issues with the Biden Administration's border policies. Every Senate Democrat voted to dismiss the House’s articles of impeachment, allegedly refusing to uphold their constitutional duty. The GOP is now preparing to target vulnerable Democratic senators over their dismissal of the impeachment articles.
