GOP senators requested the delay on impeachment.
after concerns by Republican senators that Democrats would push to table a trial if brought to the floor too soon.
Sen. John Kennedy confirmed that the impeachment articles would reach the upper chamber on Monday after Republican senators pushed for a later trial. That push came as some Democratic lawmakers have indicated they would vote to table the impeachment articles, avoiding a trial altogether. The move comes after the House impeached Mayorkas in February by a 214-213 vote on charges that he failed to enforce U.S. immigration law. The lower chamber was first expected to deliver the articles by the end of February, but Republicans later indicated they would wait until after Congress averted a partial government shutdown later that month.
