However, this optimism is challenged by a tight majority and potential travel disruptions due to a northeast snowstorm. The outcome of this impeachment vote could have significant implications, with Mayorkas potentially becoming only the second impeached cabinet member in U.S. history.

The White House has condemned the impeachment effort as a political distraction, urging Republicans to focus on bipartisan border security funding instead.
