The Senate is gearing up for a contentious battle over the impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Democrats are poised to swiftly dismiss the articles, while Republicans are adamant about a full trial. The House sent the articles to the Senate on Tuesday, with senators set to be sworn in as jurors on Wednesday.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has not outlined the trial's procedural handling. However, Democratic senators, along with some Republicans, anticipate a move to dismiss the case before a full trial. Democrats could pass a motion to dismiss or table the articles with a simple majority vote as early as Wednesday.
