Senate Democrats,Chuck Schumer

The lack of a full trial will snatch an opportunity from Republicans to go on the offensive on the border.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas speaks during the third annual Axios What's Next Summit at the Planet Word Museum on March 19, 2024 in Washington, DC. The quick dismissal of the Mayorkas charges and lack of a full trial will snatch an opportunity from Republicans to go on the offensive on the border.

When asked if Republicans would be unified, GOP Senate Whip John Thune only said that he thinks "the large majority, for sure, will be very unified."Sen. Jon Tester , one of the most vulnerable Senate Democrats in 2024, said he did not know whether he would vote to dismiss, wanting to look at the documents first.
