Tonight, President Biden forcefully pushing back on the impeachment of
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas,
slamming it as a, quote blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship.
Republicans have accused Mayorkas of refusing to enforce the law
allowing millions of migrants to cross the border.
It's a good day when we can start to finally
hold people accountable for what's gone on at the southern
border.
But the push to impeach Mayorkas comes on the same
night Democrats cruised to a victory in a special election
on Long Island.
Taking back a swing seat once held by disgraced Congressman
George Santos,
we won.
Democrat Tom Swazi attacked the impeachment of the secretary,
leaned in on immigration and hammered Republicans for backing away
from the bipartisan border deal Tom Swazi talked about.
Common sense solutions and finding bipartisan common ground.
Tom Swazi won, but Republicans shaking off the loss,
noting it's a blue district that Swazi used to represent.
That is in no way a bellwether of what's going
to happen this fall.
The Democratic win shrinking the Republicans razor thin majority.
They can now only afford to lose 2 GOP members
on a party line vote.
The House and Senate are not in session next week.
When they return, they will only have two days to
avoid a partial government shutdown.
