On Tuesday, the House of Representatives will send impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Upper Chamber.
The House passed the measure in a 214-213 vote in February.
The Hill has more:
Senators are expected to be sworn in as jurors on Wednesday, with Senate Pro Tempore Patty Murray (D-Wash.) presiding over the chamber.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is expected to quickly dismiss the charges, moving to table or dismiss the articles.
“We’re ready to go whenever they are. We are sticking with our plan. We’re going to move this as expeditiously as possible,” Schumer said last week.
Tuesday’s delivery comes after Johnson agreed to delay the transmission at the urging of Senate conservatives, punting it from last Wednesday to Tuesday. Those Republicans said they did not want to rush the process — the proceedings would have begun Thursday, with lawmakers slated to leave Washington that afternoon.
