The U.S. Senate on Wednesday voted along party lines to adjourn the impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, ending the Republican-driven efforts to remove the Biden administration's top border security official.
The upper chamber adjourned the impeachment trial by a narrow vote of 51-49 after the two articles against Mayorkas were dismissed on constitutional grounds. Democrats maintained that the charges did not constitute \\"high crimes and misdemeanors,\\" a threshold required for impeachment.
This decision marks a significant moment in the ongoing political tussle between the Republican and Democratic parties, highlighting the deep partisan divide on issues related to border security and the administration's policies.
