House Republicans delay Mayorkas impeachment trial delivery to Senate until next week

The postponement aims to give Senate Republicans more time to prepare, amid concerns over a quick dismissal by Senate Democrats.

House Republicans have postponed the delivery of impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate, aiming for next week.
The delay is intended to give Senate Republicans additional time to build support for holding a full trial, amid fears that Senate Democrats may quickly dismiss the charges.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has been criticized by Republicans for potentially planning to table the impeachment without a trial, calling it a historic act against the Senate's traditions.
Mayorkas is only the second Cabinet official in US history to be impeached, with accusations focusing on his handling of immigration laws and border security.
Senate Republicans are considering strategies to pressure Democrats and prolong the impeachment process, including legislative retaliation and delaying Senate business.
