Republicans take to floor to slam Dems for expected dismissal of Mayorkas trial

Several Senate Republicans took to the chamber floor on Monday night to call for an immediate and open trial into the impeachment articles passed against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. 'Make no mistake about it: a vote to block the impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas is a vote to keep our borders open,' Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., said in floor remarks. Sens. Rick Scott, R-Fla., Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., John Kennedy, R-La.

Marshall and Scott are members of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. The vote to 'block' mentioned by Marshall is in reference to the expectation that Senate Democrats will look to use a procedural maneuver to quickly dismiss the trial after being sworn in as jurors on Thursday. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
