Almost all members of the Senate Republican conference have demanded that Majority Leader Chuck Schumer move forward with a full impeachment trial against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas , while Senate Democrats are signaling they'll dismiss charges against him quickly.
It was unclear why the other three Republicans, Sens. Tommy Tuberville, Alabama; Bill Cassidy, Louisiana; and Rand Paul, Kentucky, did not sign the letter. Tuberville has already called for a full Senate trial against Mayorkas, and Cassidy said this week he won't support a measure to table the impeachment.
Schumer has not commented publicly about his plans for the Mayorkas impeachment, but Democrats have said they plan to dismiss the charges against the secretary and to remind the public that Republicans sank a border deal this year.
