Johnson confident in Mayorkas impeachment even as GOP opposition grows

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) expressed confidence that the House would vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas even as a handful of Republicans have come out against it, threatening its passage.

The House is set to vote on whether to charge the top border official with high crimes and misdemeanors on Tuesday evening, but with some vacant seats and other possible absences, GOP leadership has very little room for error. At least two Republicans have already come out publicly against the resolution, with a handful of others keeping their cards close to their chests.
