McConnell Doubles Down On Biden’s Border Catastrophe

Senate Republican leaders, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and John Thune of South Dakota, have called for a comprehensive trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, echoing the demands of conservative senators. Thune, eyeing a potential future as GOP leader, emphasized the necessity for the Senate to conduct a thorough examination of the impeachment charges leveled against Mayorkas by the House of Representatives.

During the weekly Senate GOP leadership press conference, Thune asserted, “The House of Representatives has determined that Secretary Mayorkas has committed impeachable offenses. That issue will come before the United States Senate. I believe the Senate needs to hold a trial.” He further elaborated on his stance, indicating a firm determination to pursue a trial in the Senate to ascertain the validity of the impeachment charges.

Subsequently, McConnell voiced his concurrence with Thune’s position, signaling a shift from his previous stance where he appeared neutral on the matter. McConnell expressed his belief that holding a trial would be the most appropriate course of action, aligning with Thune’s assertion.

The push for a trial was fueled by pressure from Senate conservatives led by Senators Rick Scott of Florida and Mike Lee of Utah. In a letter dated February 20 addressed to McConnell, they emphasized the importance of conducting a proper trial and urged every senator to adjudicate the matter upon the Senate’s return. The letter, co-signed by several Republican senators, criticized the notion of immediately dismissing the impeachment charges without due deliberation, labeling it as unprecedented in the history of the United States Senate.

Despite this call for a trial, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer refrained from revealing his strategy for handling the impeachment charges against Mayorkas. Schumer dismissed the impeachment as absurd, citing the lack of evidence supporting any impeachable offenses. He pledged to handle the matter with prudence, aiming for the best possible resolution.

In summary, the demand for a Senate trial of Secretary Mayorkas reflects a significant development in the ongoing political discourse surrounding the impeachment charges, with Republican leaders advocating for a thorough examination of the allegations brought against him.
