House Republicans try again to impeach Mayorkas with Scalise return

Republicans will attempt for a second time to impeach President Joe Biden’s top border official Tuesday after the first House floor vote failed by one vote last week, embarrassing GOP leadership and temporarily sparing Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Last week’s historic impeachment vote was slated to make history as the first Cabinet official impeachment in 148 years but fell short after three Republicans chose to side with Democrats and a fourth Republican purposely changed his vote at the last minute to bring the measure back up for a second vote in the future.
