House Republicans are gearing up for a second vote to impeach Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Last week, they fell just two votes short of securing the impeachment, but are optimistic about their chances this time around.
The House GOP can only afford to lose two votes, but last week, four Republicans defied their party and voted against the impeachment. However, a last-minute switch allowed the losing side to have another opportunity. This dynamic has created a sense of uncertainty in the outcome of the upcoming vote.
