Johnson’s risky impeachment bet – POLITICO
House Republicans, led by Johnson, are attempting to secure sufficient votes for the impeachment of Cabinet Secretary Mayorkas, a move that hasn’t occurred since 1876. However, the vote is tight and a looming special election for expelled GOP Rep. George Santos’ seat could affect the balance. The impeachment effort, amid claims of Mayorkas mishandling border security, is criticized by some Republicans as politicization, while Mayorkas denies the allegations. The results of this vote will reportedly provide insight into the potential for the Republican’s higher stakes goal of impeaching President Biden.
