WEST SULPHUR SPRINGS, West Virginia — It’s been over a month since the House voted to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas, but the Senate likely won’t consider a trial for the homeland secretary until lawmakers can square away their 2024 budget.

The House cast its historic vote to impeach Mayorkas on Feb. 13, charging him with high crimes and misdemeanors related to his handling of the southern border. However, the articles of impeachment have not yet been transferred over to the Senate for a trial, which Democrats are likely to dismiss quickly.
