Earlier than the vote, Home Democratic Chief Hakeem Jeffries stated:
Secretary Mayorkas is an effective man, a patriotic man, and a hard-working man doing the perfect he can below very tough circumstances. That’s not an impeachable offense. Excessive MAGA Republicans have produced no proof that Secretary Mayorkas has engaged in a excessive crime or misdemeanor, no proof that Secretary Mayorkas has engaged in an impeachable offense. And no proof that Secretary Mayorkas has damaged the legislation or violated the Structure. Not a shred of proof, not a scintilla of proof, nothing, however excessive MAGA Republican chaos and confusion.
And the trouble to keep away from doing the exhausting work mandatory to seek out widespread floor, to really handle the challenges on the border. What do these impeachment articles should do with the problem of addressing our damaged immigration system? Nothing.

What do these impeachment articles should do with addressing the inflationary challenges and the affordability points that the American individuals are experiencing day after day as we work to proceed to emerge from a once-in-a-century pandemic that shut down the economic system?

Home Republicans thought that they may use a Mayorkas impeachment as an election tactic to assist Trump, however there was one downside. The DHS Secretary didn’t commit an impeachable offense.
The Republican Home majority is so inept and damaged that it may well’t even unify on impeaching a member of the Biden administration.
Republicans need to use the Home for messaging and present votes however they simply crashed and burned once they tried to question Mayorkas.
