The Republican Party's Failed Attempt to Impeach Alejandro Mayorkas

TLDRThe Republican Party's attempt to impeach Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas failed and is not good news for the party. They targeted Mayorkas to appear tough on the border without taking any action. The party is divided and failing to address border issues. The bipartisan border reform bill, which Republicans previously claimed they wanted, has been criticized and rejected by them. The party seems more focused on chaos and political tactics than actually securing the border. Former President Trump endorsed Senator James Lankford, who negotiated the bill, but now discredits him. The Republican Party's sole reason for existence appears to be the reelection of Donald Trump, as evidenced by the resignation of Ronna McDaniel Romney as chairwoman of the RNC. Trump is likely to back an election denier, Michael Whatley, as her replacement.
